Message: Database server not found

Explanation: Here are some possibilities:

  • A local target server was specified, and that server is not running.

  • If Foxhound has been started as a service, you may have to specify a LINKS parameter to connect to a target database even if it has been started on the same computer: ENG=ddd12; DBN=ddd12; UID=dba; PWD=sql; DRIVER=SQL Anywhere 12; LINKS=TCPIP(HOST=localhost; PORT=2638; DoBroadcast=NONE);

  • A HOST= network server address was specified, and that server is not running.

  • The correct HOST= network server address was specified on the Network tab, but the ENG= server name is wrong.

  • The wrong HOST= network server address was specified on the Network tab.

  • Caution: If you change the HOST= value, you may connect to the wrong server if a different, but working, IP address was cached in the workstation file C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\win32\asasrv.ini. To avoid using this cache file specify "DOBROADCAST=NONE" on the Network tab; e.g.: use HOST=ip-address;DOBROADCAST=NONE to force only that address to be used.
