Please advice how to fix this or let us know if we can edit the code to work with two servers PROD and COB servers when we switch server on frontend

SQLCA.Logid = of_encrypt(userid)
SQLCA.LogPass = password
//SQLCA.servername =server ----------------(if we use this we are getting named pipe provider error so we have commented it )

,StopSign!)
iw_Frame.SetMicroHelp(gnv_app.iapp_object.microhelpdefault)
Return
END IF

// Set the sybase environment variables
IF ib_SetSybaseEnv THEN
f_SetPlatform(lnv_platform, TRUE)
lnv_platform.of_SetSybaseEnv(SQLCA.DBMS, server)
f_SetPlatform(lnv_platform, FALSE)
END IF

SQLCA.DataBase = ProfileString(ls_AppIniFile, server_ptr, "database","")
SQLCA.Lock = ProfileString(ls_AppIniFile, server_ptr, "lock","")

//*****************************************************************

Named pipes provider- could not open a connection to sql - connection string issue

but when i hardcode the listerner it is working

 

 

I am getting this issue  If i use SQLCA.servername =server 

 

// Profile PRC PROD
Database Profile:
SQLCA.DBMS = "SNC SQL Native Client(OLE DB)"
SQLCA.LogPass = <********>
SQLCA.ServerName = "mss-em-0333-aol.eur.nsroot.net,2431"
SQLCA.LogId = "prcmsprd"
SQLCA.AutoCommit = False
SQLCA.DBParm = "Database='PrcDb',Provider='SQLNCLI11'"
 
 
 
App.ini

[PRCLPRODMSSQL1_DS]
;Autocommit defaults to false if no entry here - can be overridden in users registry
Name=ProductionMSSQL
AutoCommit=true
DBMS = "SNC SQL Native Client(OLE DB)"
DBPARM = "DataBase='PrcDb',PROVIDER='SQLNCLI11'"
ServerName = "mss-em-0333-aol.eur.nsroot.net,2431 "
LogId = "prcmsprd"
LogPass = "*******"
Lock="RR"

Hi Prasad,

I just explained it: remove all the double quote (NOT the single quotes) from you APP.INI file and don't put any spaces after the = sign before the value.

Then in your code you do this:

SQLCA.Server = lower(trim(ProfileString(ls_AppIniFile, server_ptr, "ServerName","")))

Hi Miguel.

This by the way should fix variable usage issue mentioned in original question.

Andreas.

Since you are already using an INI file, you could get the server from an entry there, instead of hardcoding it.

Hi Prasad;

  Normally, this is handled by your Networking & DBA teams to facilitate this. Done properly, it should be transparent to the PB App (s).

Hi Prasad;

This is actually super simple to implement in a PB App. For example....

SQLCA.DBParm="SvrFailover='Yes'" // Oracle or ASE DBMS

SQLCA.dbparm="FailoverPartner='<MirrorServerName>'" // SQL Server (SNC or MSO drivers)

Food for thought. HTH

Another approach is to use an IF statement, and set the SERVER value to either a value read in from the INI file OR a hardcoded value.

// Pseudo code

boolean connected = FALSE

int count = 0



DO WHILE (count < 5 AND NOT (connected))

count = count + 1

Test server 1

If server 1 is working then

connect to server 1

if success then connected = TRUE

else

Test server 2

if server 2 is working then

connect to server 2

if success then connected = TRUE

end if

end if



if NOT (connected)) then SLEEP (5)

NEXT
