Vista 64 New Machine Problem...

First of all, I am using Windows Vista 64 + Norton Internet Security
2009. I have uninstalled Norton and the results described below were
unchanged (so it isn't Norton).

I have tested the S__T out of it and for whatever reason, I can't get
any of my applications to retrieve data from a NxServer.exe running on
the same machine. The applications connect, but no data is ever
successfully transferred.

I can get the applications (on the machine in question) to connect and
retrieve data from another PC running NxServer.exe on my internal network.

If I run the same applications from another machine and try to connect
to the Nexus Server on the problem machine, they can connect but NO data
is successfully returned.

Nexus DB Enterprise Manager can retrieve data from the NxServer on the
problem machine with NO problems.


This is driving me up the wall .. I have never had this problem on any
of my other development machines running Vista 64.

What am I missing?

Any ideas / help would be appreciated!

Best Regards,

Shane

Hi Shane,

This only happens when server and client are in the same computer? If that's the case,
what happens if you try the client on another computer and the server there?

Does it happens with any protocol? Are you using transport encryption? This happens with
any alias/database?

The first message said this also happened with EM, but the last one say EM works, is that
correct?

Any app has this problems? Can you try a new app with just the minimum nexus components
accessing the same database and see what happens?

Does the nxServerException.log says anything?

Sorry of just throwing questions, probably you have already asked yourself them, but
that's the only thing I can think of right now.

HTH,

Any client trying to access the NxServer on the new machine has the same
effect ... it can connect, but all queries result in empty results.

I quit trying to use the encrypted transports because of the SERIOUS BUG
IN NexusDB that doesn't handle trigger exceptions when the the encrypted
protocol is used.

After a few reboots, the problem is with my applications and NexusDB
server running on my new Thinkpad W700. Actually, any application trying
to connect to the Nexus Server running on the new machine (except
Enterprise Manager).

I was going to try that until:

1) I realized the compiled apps on the machine in question could connect
to a NexusDB server running on another workstation.

2) I started having a few Spaten Optimators.

Nothing.

I appreciate the effort ... I, too, am grasping at straws as I have
NEVER has these type issues with NexusDB.

P.S. The Thinkpad W700 with 8G of memory and a QX9300 processor is the
BEST LAPTOP I have ever owned!!

Just looked up what that was..Yes thanks!! <g> I think Grolsh is the only
Bavarian beer I have local access to. Wasn't it scientifically proven that
alcohol killed the slowest/damaged brain cells before other brain cells? If
that's true then you're doing some 'routine optimization' ;-)

Just to run through [and eliminate] some basics...

* Are you running nxServer (and EM) in 'Administrator' mode? You should be able
to set the nxServer file properties to always run in Administrator mode either
directly or through a shortcut.

* Is the database in a protected location like a folder in Program Files?

* I doubt this would be an issue but is everything running on the same network?
I.e. IP range, subnet, and workgroup/domain name.

I recall when I was deciding between the 32 and 64 bit versions of WinXP, in
order to get some apps working under Windows XP 64bit, you needed a specific DLL
which the 64bit version did not install. Perhaps its a bit of history repeating?
Since you mentioned that you're running Vista64 on other machines which work
properly this is probably unlikely.

Best of luck!

Grolsh and Bavarian???
Hopefully you never pass the border of bavaria, because i doubt that
you will be arrested right away.

Grolsh is from the netherlands and i don't really know what inside, but
i suppose that it differs a lot from german beer.

Hi Arndt,

Grolsch is brewed following the "Deutsches Reinheitsgebot von 1516". The
German Beer Purity Law that is
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot). It is the only dutch beer
that is "clean".

Cheers

(Germany, but only 50km away from the Grolsch brewery)

I really like very dark beer and Spaten Optimator is one of my favorites.

Since InBev purchased (or at least started the process) of Budweiser,
Walmart started carrying more InBev products (could just be a
coincidence, but...) and they now sale Optimator (so real easy to find)!

Best regards,

Shane

They'd probably shoot me on site if they found out ;-) Don't tell! <g>

Thanks for the heads up. I had it once. Not too sure if I'll have it again.
I like Shofferhoffer Heifferweizen (spelling?) which I'm pretty sure is
German...it's an expensive habit though. I need to drive 2 hours to Sydney if I
want any and then it's at least another 2 hours before I can drink it ^_^!
