DBDDriver failed to load

[Former Member]

Hi,

when we try to open a universe in the universe designer. We got the following error:

Datenbankfehler. Der Datenbankfehlertext lautet: (CS)

"DBDDriver failed to load: C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_wmssql.dll (Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden.)".(WIS 10901)

We have installed the universe designer on a terminal Server with Windows Server 2008 64 Bit.

What can we do?

Regards

Alexander

Can you access the database via the database client tools from that machine?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes, we can access the database via ODBC

You may need to add the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\" to your PATH environment variable.

What type of target database are you trying to access?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

We try to connect to a SQL Server 2008 R2. We have already add this path to our environment variable, but it doesn't work.

Do you access other SQL Server databases via BusinessObjects?

If so, you may need to move that particular path near to the front of your path variable.

Already done. But still it doesn't work

Is it all SQL Server 2008 R2 databases you are having a problem with or just this one?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

We only have one SQL Server 2008 R2 database to connect.

First thing I'd recommend is making sure all your service packs are at the same level. I experienced errors with earlier versions of XI3.1 and got the system up to SP4
