Create database instance, remote desktop

[Former Member]

Hello all,

i try install MAXDB software and create new instance of database via remote desktop on windows XP (database manager => create => custom => ... LiveCache ...). Most of parameters are default.

It gets error:

The operational state of the database instance could not be determined [db_state -v];

Then I do the same steps without using remote desktop - everything is OK (the same account).

Why is that/where is the difference?

We use remote desktop to maintain our system - bad idea for reinstall MaxDB?

Lukasz.

The first thing, that came to my mind reading your post was, are all rights and privileges the same in the case of a remote desktop use?

I'm no Windows specialist, but at least I know, that remote access is restricted in XP.

Hi Thomas,

thanks very much for help but privileges are the same (admin account).

I just figure out what was wrong: Users were different (user ID). Both admin's (the same account) were logged, and had different ID.

In that case you can't (if you aren't first in users queue):

- connect to database: -24961,ERR_STATE: The operational state of the database instance could not be determined 24994,ERR_RTE: Runtime environment error

- cerate database instance: -24988 SQL error [db_activate...]; -902,I/O error

etc.

MAXDB/xserwer works well with first user only.

Solution is simple: turn 'fast user switching' of (control panel -> users).

I hope this hint will be useful for other people working with XP prof.

Lukasz.
