I've seen the same message when trying to use a 7.6.03 midtier against a 7.0.1 server - I haven't looked into it in detail but there may be some issue with the 7.6.03 Java API used by the DevStudio/Midtier and ARS pre 7.1.

I've downloaded everything, and installed the User and the Developer Studio. The current server is at 7.0.1 - Patch 1. The User starts up with no problem. However, the Developer Studio gives this error: Developer Studio - Error Error connecting to preference server. ERROR (149): A user name must be supplied in the control record; (ARERR 5098) I've never seen this one (or similar) before. All of the references that I have found on the web about Error 149 are not current. But they seem to indicate that the user name is not being passed at login time. Any ideas? Also, I have not read through all of the docs for 7.6.3 yet... Is this upgrade going to be easy (or are there any gotchas): Solaris 10 Solaris 10 Oracle 10gR2 Oracle 10gR2 --> then upgrade to Oracle 11gR2 ARS 7.0.1 patch 1 7.6.3 Thanks, Kelvin _attend WWRUG10 www.wwrug.com<http://www.wwrug.com> ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
