I have a 3rd party software that uses Sybase SQL Anywhere
Network Server Version 5.5.05 Build #2817 as database.
I need to deploy it to a webserver and use that software
from a terminal server .
This works fine with single user logged in to the terminal
server.Incase more thatn one user logs in to the software,
the previous user is unable to continue further.
I want to know if this is a problem with Sybase SQL Anywhere
Network Server Version 5.5.05 Build #2817 or with terminal
server setup or with the 3rd party software.
Webserver OS: windows 2000
Thanks,
Laxmi

It is probably a configuration problem. Can you
1) Confirm specifically the behaviour you see including any errors or
warnings?
2) What specifically is your configuration for connectivity in the IIS
environment and the 3rd party software?

We need a more detailed explaination of "whom is doing what to whom"
here. I know of no issues with dbclient.exe connecting to dbsrv5.exe
with win2k or with a properly configured MSTerminal Server.

Could not connect to server.
Make sure network server is running, and retry.

#2
LOGIN DISCONNECTED

Due to an unknown reason, this workstation has been
disconnected from the network server.
The server is running, but you'll have to login again.
If you were saving data, you'll have to reenter it.

If closing this message box produces more errors ("illegal
operation" or "Access Violation" messages),
you may have to restart your computer.

As a precaution, please save and exit all other open
applications before clicking the Close button here.

General SQL error.
[Sybase][ODBC Driver]Connection not open: not connected to
SQL database



normal installation.I did not do any special connection for
this software and IIS.

The 3rd party software uses sqlanywhere as backend.
So when 2 users simultaneously access the software, is the
database locking it up?
Is this anything to do with terminal server?
Also is there any specific configuration for running
sqlanywhere on terminal servers?
THanks,
Laxmi

There is no "special" configuration for Terminal Server. It just looks
like many computers on a network and your database server and clients
need to be configured that way.

Have you talked to your vendor? If not you should since they know what
they did and how their software can be configured.

For us to proceed from here we need executable start lines, connection
strings, etc to figure out what software is attempting to connect to
what using what mechanism.

This may be a situation where you are better off dealing directly with
Technical Support so they can spend the time to lead you through
figuring out what you have and then what, if anything, you can do.
