I've seen this quite a few times. There are some things to check. I'd suggest starting debugging as it was suggested below, the switch is Debug=1 which would start a SQL log. Then try to restart the service. That way you can follow the sql log to find out which SQL call is causing the exception. In my experience, I've seen this occur in instances where there were view forms that could not access the data source. I've also seen it where linked db servers were not linked correctly, or where linked db servers were inaccessible. I've also seen it where stored procedures running in filter actions were returning errors that the system was not prepared to handle. Hope some of this info proves at least a little helpful.

If I had this problem I would first check if the sybase server is up and running. Is this on a unix box? you can try ps -leaf | grep dataserver or ps -leaf | grep -e grep | grep sybase 2. i will also try and connect using isql client: I guess it should be something similar to isql -S <server> -D <arsserver> -Uaradmin -P<passwd> 3. You might get some usefull information if you set the debug log level in your remedy config (ar.conf) file and start the server again. there is a flag Debug-Level or something similar which you have to set to a value (which I cant recall) but you can find it in the PDF manuals either performance and troubleshooting or configuration ... I would also try and run a truss command, this should show all the OS system calls. truss -f -a -d -e -r all -w all -o truss.out this command will generate a lots of information so make sure you are writing your truss.out where there is enough disk space .. Not sure if any of this will help but its worth trying. good luck Mohan Panchangmath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : ** Hi Janet, You can also check if the sql server is really running or not by checking the component services. You can even try restarting the sql server.
