Putting DB on dev laptop - SLXServer needed? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I just stepped into a dev scenario where SLX 7 is used on a SQL Server 2005 and I will be using OLE DB driver to talk to the SLX database from an external program. I need to set up an isolated dev environment on my laptop where we can rip the current program apart and test even while I am offsite.

I have set up SQL Server Express 2005 and have followed the steps documented here for attaching the database, creating sysdba and setting permissions, doing the orphan fix, etc. The connection string uses the Port=1706 syntax and I get this error on trying to open the connection:

OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from SalesLogix OLE DB Provider: Could not establish connection with SLXServer. Check server is running and PORT is correct...

Evidently, I need to also install SLXServer.EXE on the laptop to be able to connect to the laptop db? Is it just that one EXE or do I have to run a complete install? Can this be done?

Thanks for any tips that point me in the right direction -- I am completely new to the SLX world.

This is a very common scenario - what you need to do is run the install for all the components from the install DVD - put the Admin & Servers on first - then the client etc. Do not attempt to copy individual exe's/dll's - there's no need and it won't work. Just follow the manual step by step and you'll be fine.
