Verify that Replication Server is Communicating With the Adapter

If you are experiencing communication issues between Replication Server and the adapter, verify that you are using the correct port, host, and username.

To check for a connection failure:
  1. Resume the connection and verify the connection status. For example, resume the connection to ESPadapter.ESPadapter and verify that the connection status is either Awaiting Command or Awaiting Message.
  2. If the connection fails to resume, check the Replication Server log for additional information. For example 2011/01/25 14:31:41. Still trying to connect to server 'ESPadapter' as user 'partner' indicates a connection failure. In such cases:
    1. Verify the port number defined within the interfaces/sql.inifile for the ESP Adapter for Replication Server connection (ESPadapter) matches the TDS PORT value within the ESP DataLocatioin advanced properties.
    2. Verify the hostname used within the interfaces/sql.ini file for the ESP Adapter for Replication Server connection (ESPadapter) is available to the Replication Server workstation and is the hostname for the ESP server.
    3. Verify the username defined within the ESP Adapter for Replication Server connection (ESPadapter.ESPadapter) does not match the Adapter Admin User value defined within the ESP DataLocation advanced properties.
