Can'f find Strataframe database. What is name of db?

Robert Carl Johnson — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 15:41:40 GMT

Newbie to Strataframe so please bear with me... I ran the install and it seemed to run ok, at least I didn't see any errors. But running the tutorial I can't connect to the Strataframe database on Localhost. I have MS SQL Server 2005 running on my local system.

Should I just re-install again?

Regards,

Robert

Thanks for the reply.. I discovered a repair database utility when I started the instalation exe again. It re-installed the database's again and all is well. I appreciate the quick response to my query and look forward to using your tool in my work.

Regards,

Robert

What is the message you are getting when it is trying to connect? If you are running SQL Server Express and installed with the defaults, by default you cannot use the localhost reference and must address the server with the machine name and instance: MYCOMPUTER\SQLEXPRESS . Make sure the StrataFrame, StrataFrameInternal, and StrataFrameSample databases were installed in your SQL Server instance. If so, then do the following:

Click on the StrataFrame menu item within Visual Studio
Click Database Connection...
Select the StrataFrame Data Store item and click the Edit button
The first page shown will just be the name and description so click Next >
Make sure that the Server is pointing to the correct SQL Server instance. The database cannot be changed since this is the StrataFrame connection.
Click Next and then Finish.

This will make sure that your StrataFrame connection is setup so that the Busines Object Mapper, DDT, Security, and Messaging can be run. If you are having an issue connecting your sample application to a database then this is a different scenario. This gets setup in the AppMain.vb or program.cs file. Let me know if this does not get you going.
