how to use sql anywhere monitor for personal server ?

[Former Member]

Is it possible to use the sql anywhere monitor for a personal server?

I have a .Net application that starts up a personal server and connects to a client database.

But when I try to add a resource with sql anywhere monitor, I get an unspecific error.

---

So I first start my application, the Personal Server is running: Version 12.0.1.3873

• then I go to the Monitor
• Add resource
• give a name 'test'
• Host: localhost
• port: empty
• server: 'PersonalServerName'
• DataBase: 'c:mylocationmydatabase.db'
• other: empty

DBA User Id: useridoflocaldb

Password: passwordOfLocalDB

---

then I get this Error: An error occurred configuring the resource for monitoring. Please check that the server is running and that the correct connection parameters were given.

The monitor uses TCP/IP to connect whereas the personal engine starts only the shared memory protocol by default and therefore does not listen to TCP/IP by default.

Confine the 12.0.1 doc page on the "Monitor architecture":

The monitor connects to SQL Anywhere databases over TCP/IP. To monitor a database running on the local database server (dbeng12), start the database server with the -x all or -x tcpip option.

I've been able to startup network server and attach my application to that so the monitor has been startup...
