Adding Databases

FXVega · Post by **FXVega** » Tue Apr 27, 2004 1:14 pm

I just purchased a 5 user license and replaced the demo sn. However, when I tried to add additional databases using the server manager, the SOS would not restart (see below - the last 3 lines in the log.txt file). I thought this was a limitation of the demo version since it happened before. I can change the database and restart the service but the bottom line is I can only restart the service if I only have one VSS db listed.

Can anyone help me out on this one?

Either we've had another case like this or you've also emailed Technical Support. We need to take a look at the sossvr.prp file -- the server properties file to see how the databases are listed.

I had the same problem with SourceOffsite 4 this morning. I was able to fix it by specifying aliases for all databases I added to the system.

Looks like if you have more than one db added, you must also enter aliases for them. If you don't, it seems the server thinks you specified the same alias ("") more than once for different dbs.
