I have installed DS4.2 SP2 on a number of Suse 11.1 Linux VMs using all of the standard settings, and making use of the bundled SQL Anywhere database as my repo.
I am getting an error in the Designer when I try to connect to certain repositories in the Login screen, but the problem is not happening on all installations.
The error is an ODBC message:
ERROR: ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> to connect database <DS_REPO> failed with error: <[Sybase][SQL Anywhere]Database server not found>. Use the ODBCDriverSelector (Windows) or DSConnectionManager,sh (UNIX) utility in LINK_DIR/bin to configure the correct version of the driver.....(BODI-1112172)
I have checked both the ODBCDriverSelector on the machine running the Designer and DSConnectionManager on the server, and the drivers are all correct for SQL Anywhere 12. I can also successfully connect to the database from the Windows Repository Manager - the only problem is with the Designer.
I have tried adding an ODBC entry in the System DSNs for the repo database, and again I can successfully test the connection - but this hasn't fixed my issue, and the Designer can connect (when it can connect) even if a DSN isn't defined.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.
