Hello Anyone,
I can't add an addition GDB into SQLserver via SDE post install. I've tried a strong password in the second database and made a new empty folder for the database and still no luck. Keep getting native errors.
My SDE password in not a strong password for my SDE administrator would that cause a problem?
I've read other threads and tried those fixes but not luck. Is there other issues I havn't read about.
Thanks
Ken
Hi Eoin,
I m new at this SDE/SQL stuff and learning as I go. I get my errors at the second window when I go to create Spatial database. When I say make a new folder I mean in the Create in folder option I created a new folder to see if that would fix it. It didn't.
I think my problem is in the strong password that I didn't create when I did the install. Plus I can't log in under the 'sa' account cause I don't know the password either I didn't right it down during the install or something. Since I wrote this tread I been looking how to find my 'sa' password I found it in SQL but it is dotted out but what is strange my password for my 'sde' in SQl that is dotted out also doesn't match my password. So, I'm confused. Is there a default password they put in for you?
So, I need to figure out my 'sa' password before I do anything. So I'm going to do what you suggested to see if it fixes it.
Thanks

Yes I got through the create spatial database window and all the way through to the repository setup but this is not what I expected. I thought I was creating an addition GDB with a totally different name. But it just allowing me to update my existing GDB. I put a new name in the databse name/repository setup window and it unsuccessfully.
So, can I make another SDE/GDB? I have it created up SDE scheme as all the write-up state to do. So far I have SDE/GDB up and running and being directly connected to it. I just can't get another SDE/GDB going. The instructions are very miniumial when it comes to creating an additional SDE/GDB.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ken
