Windows Server 2008 + Tess Report Server

Good day.

Is anyone running their report server in windows server 2008 (64-bit)? I am testing this now, and receive this message (which also appears when I run the Tessitura client in windows server 2008):

Security check not done. Cannot connect to the database!

Error:

DBMS is not supported in your current installation.

I tried installing the SQL Server 2008 native client on the server with no joy. Is there a compatibility issue here, or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks.

  • Where is your tessitura.ini file located?  Pre-2008 we had ours at c:\windows\system32 and discovered with 2008 that we had to put it in c:\windows instead in order for it to work.

    If that doesn't do it, I suggest opening a support ticket and support will be happy to help as well.

  • Found it - I had to use the IP address in the ini files for both Tess and Report server. All is well now. :)

    I found this comment in a sybase group, which I took to mean a connection to the server was not being established:

    The error message is;
    "dbms "+transaction.dbms+" is not supported in you current
    installation"
    Note that in your case the dbms is blank...

    Tried the IP instead, and everything behaved.

    Thanks for the assistance.

  • Dan where in the .ini did you place the IP address?  We are having the same problem.

  • Hi John.

    There are three relevant INI files:

    1) gsrbatch.ini, which is in the same folder as gsrbatch.exe for the report server. For our file, the third line is:

    servername=1.2.3.4

    Where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the database server.

    2) For the Tessitura client on the report server, per Jennifer's recommendation above, I created a folder for the client that contains both tessitura.ini and tessitura_master.ini. The tessitura.ini points to this local copy of the tessitura_master.ini.  The fourth line of the tessitura_master.ini file contains:

    servername=1.2.3.4

    Where 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the database server.

    The above configuration is unique to the report server. All other Tessitura clients point to a tessitura_master.ini on a network drive.

    I hope that makes sense.

    I'm happy to help further, but I recommend opening a ticket with Tessitura Network if you are unable to resolve the issue.

    Thanks.
