ID Number: Q67626
1.10 1.11 4.20
OS/2
Summary:
SYMPTOMS
While installing SQL Server version 1.1, 1.11, or 4.2 onto a Novell
NetWare local area network (LAN), an error of "error calling
Netserverenum" "code 2102" was displayed.
CAUSE
The NETAPI.DLL file and SQL Server were not installed correctly.
RESOLUTION
The following steps can be used to resolve this problem.
1. There is a NETAPI.DLL file on the Novell installation disks
that is NOT automatically installed. It can be found on one
of the NetWare disks in a subdirectory called "\SQL". There
is also a README file with instructions on how to install this
file.
2. SQL Server must be installed using the "standalone" menu
selections when putting it on a Novell network.
More Information:
A future set of SQL release notes will contain language similar to the
following regarding Novell networks:
Novell Compatibility
--------------------
SQL Server 1.1 is supported on a Novell network with the Novell OS/2
requester. Follow the Novell installation instructions to install the
OS/2 requester with named pipe support.
To install SQL Server 1.1, run the Setup program. Choose the
standalone server option instead of the network-based server option.
With the current Novell implementation, there is a limit on the number
of connections (open dbprocesses) that can be made to SQL Server
running on an OS/2 requester. The maximum number of possible SQL
Server connections is 32. When this maximum number of connections has
been reached, the OS/2 requester machine that SQL Server is running on
issues the following message:
NPDAEMON: Error out of run time resources.
Each database connection requires one SPX session. The value of the
SPX sessions parameter can be increased if required.
Usually, no other reconfiguration of the OS/2 requester is necessary.
There are also some limitations that affect the System Administration
Facility (SAF):
- SQL Server cannot be started remotely from within SAF.
- SAF uses LAN Manager login IDs as defaults for various operations,
and these are not supported in a NetWare environment.
- Servers cannot be hidden on the network.
