Hello Guys,

Can someone help me to connect to database. I am using P6 V.7 on windows 7. The ORAPMDB is working but others not like, PMDB, MMDB & PMSDK. I tried to log on to PMSDK but error shows like this..."Bad public user name or password. Database Server Error: SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF]. ;

I setup already my ODBC and it is working. Maybe there’s something missing or wrong on my setup?

Hoping for your response and thanks in advance.


Cheers,

Dyep

Jeff,
Did you install SDK also? If yes try to use it if working or not.

Note: SDK should be configuring the same as database. If oracle then configure using Oracle driver and if SQL then SDK should be configure using SQL driver.

Jeff,
Who installed P6v7 on your laptop? You need to un-installed the Oracle database and Oracle Server first before you can install SQL Server and SQL database or vise versa.

Jeff,

I believed that the database is using oracle and not SQL. PMDB normally used by SQL as default but IT or Admin who installed Primavera database can change it to different name. Try to configure your SDK to Oracle instead of SQL and it should work.
