Connection Server does not start

[Former Member]

Hello guys,

The Connection Server does not start anymore.

When I always try to start it returns me a failed status and shows me that the server is considered failed because it has stopped 5 time(s) in 60 minute(s).

It's a BOE XI 3.1 SP2 with IK 3.1 SP2 installed on a Windows 2003 Server.

BO XI database is on a SQL Server and all tables are there and seems to be OK

The log file for the connectserver via trace is below :

Hi

I remember facing the similar issues long back on XIR2 at the customer site. I was a BO consultant at that time, I am now working on Cognos.

The culprit was a configuration file called cs.cfg. I replaced it with same file from another BO setup and it worked. I was working on a production issue at that time. This troubled me for few days and finally I was able to track down to this file. after replacing this it worked perfectly.

I don't remember the exact file location.

hi

Also Try,

The data access pack of the CMS database might not be installed.

open Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs

Highlight BusinessObjects Enterprise XI, then click on the Change button

install the data access pack of the connection server corresponding of the CMS database

Change Choose Modify Choose Data Access Select the type of CMS database and finish the install

Have you tried to delete the connection service and create a new one? Looks like the connection service got corrupted somewhere along the line. Have you also tried to restart the server(s) or the SIA?

Hope this helps...
