With all Remote databases I try to create a local database view of the remote table. This way the ARS system doesn't have to deal with the fact that it is remote (which is a plus when you have a Dev/Test/Prod environment setup and you need to move your code between environments). In ARS you simply create a View form against the local view of the remote data.
Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Marc Burick Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 11:00 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Getting errors when creating a View Form ** ARServer 7.1, patch 1 Admin Tool,, 7.1 patch 11 SQL 2008 We are attempting to create our first View Form, SQL database to a Oracle database, but we can not create the form. I am pretty sure our problem is the syntax of the table that I am putting in the field before I press Load. The Admin Tool appears to be looking for sysobjects, instead of the Linked Server. The examples in the documentation are poor. Admin Tool error message: Failure during SQL operation to the database : PAEHOWUD351.ASSETCENTER.AC_REMEDY_ASSETLOOKUP_VIEW (ARERR 552). SQL log error message: <SQL > <TID: 0000003088> <RPC ID: 0000002030> <Queue: Admin > <Client-RPC: 390600 > <USER: D065879 > /* Mon Sep 12 2011 11:57:52.7910 */SELECT id from PAEHOWUD351.dbo.sysobjects where name = N'AC_REMEDY_ASSETLOOKUP_VIEW' <SQL > <TID: 0000003088> <RPC ID: 0000002030> <Queue: Admin > <Client-RPC: 390600 > <USER: D065879 > /* Mon Sep 12 2011 11:57:52.7910 */*** ERROR *** Invalid object name 'PAEHOWUD351.dbo.sysobjects'. (SQL Server 208) We are able to query the Linked Server from SQL Studio. I am able to create a view on the SQL server that looks at the Linked Server and create the View Form using that view, but when I run a selection from the View Form, it takes 50+ seconds. Can anyone provide the syntax that should be put in as the table we want to be pointing to? Again, the documentation is not very clear. Thank you in advance.
