Windows 2003, SQL Server 2005, Livelink 9.2

[DrDDT]

Hi,

I'm trying to get Livelink 9.2 to work on W2K3 and a remote SLQ Server 2005.
We normally use livelink with oracle without problems, but I cannot get W2K3/Livelink 9.2 to connect to a SQL Server 2005 instance. Livelink just generates a time-out, no error messages. I know 2005 uses shared memory by default, and I changed the connection type to TCP.

Connecting using a client test utility works fine.

Any idea's? Do I need a certain version of the MSSQL client tools?

Did you check you compatability setting? It may need to be changed.

 

[DrDDT]

Compatability of the database is 8.0, set automatically when we imported the database.

do you get anything in the LL logs ? can you get any LL pages up such as the admin.index or admin.dbedit ?

Solved it.

SQL Server 2005 no longer supplies the correct client libraries.
Copying ntwdblib.dll of SQL Server 2000 to c:\windows\system32 solved the problem.
