(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Hi all,
we have a currently running version of P6 R8 that is failing so I have attempted to create a new one.
I have created a new server and installed SQL 2016 express and configured this. I have then installed P6 on the server, and it can connect to it via the SQL method however if i try the same configuration on another machine i am getting the Prompt "Bad public user name or password. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.;"
I have matched the TCP settings from the old setup to the new one and have refreshed the pub and priv users
can anyone advise where I am going wrong, please.
Printer-friendly version
Send to friend
go with pubuser pubuser
The other machine does have primavera on . and is working to SQL as it is how I connect to the current Primavera setup
starting the browser didn't work on its own but that and disabling the firewall did work will start trying to allow the port again
this is now working for the new database, however, if I import a database I am getting the bad username or password message
I have run Execsp_change_users_login 'Update_one','PUBUSER','PUBUSER'
Execsp_change_users_login 'Update_one','PRIVUSER','PRIVUSER'
however when originally set up it was done with the pub and priv users as pubuser1 privuser1
Try turning the firewall off and then connecting.
Also check to see if you have the SQL Browser service running, that affects SQL connections sometimes.
If that doesn't work, try entering it in the format 'IP address\instance name' for the host name instead of the computer name.
the other machine must also have primavera. How are you connection to the machine that has sql on it ?
Thanks Checking this shows port 1433 which is what it is set as yet it still isn't working
sorry just to clarify it is working on the machine that has SQL installed and primavera but not when i try to connect from another machine
the TCP setting will be specific for that machine
got to start then type regedit
look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and expand it
scroll down to Microsoft SQL Server then to PRIMAVERA THEN TO MSSQLS then to SuperSocketNetLib then to TCP
on the right look for the number under Data thats the TcpPort number you want to use.
