The OS is Windows 2003 (64 bit), remote Oracle 10g server (UNIX). Oracle client on application server is 32 bit.
I am able to connect to the database using the Oracle client from the application server. During the installation, the installer recognizes the existence of a previously installed database (first attempt). I asked for an update install and it seems to install correctly and gives the message that it installed successfully, but the services are not started. When I go to start it manually, I receive the following error: "Windows could not start the BMC Remedy Action Request System toto on local computer. For more information, review the system event log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1064." The log files are as follows: "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( AR System Monitor ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 390600 : Cannot initialize contact with SQL database (ARERR 551) : Stop server, ." and "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( AR System Monitor ) cannot be found.

I have sent this all to BMC, but they have not found an answer yet (after more than a week) JANNIE BANKS _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
