CE 2.0 RDA on one server talking to SQL 2008 on another

  • We have a scale device which has been successfully uploading data to a SQL 2000 database. We have SQL CE and RDA setup on the SQL 2000 server with IIS. It has worked fine.

    Then, we bought a new server, installed SQL 2008 and want the scale device to talk to this new server. I was wondering if we could continue to use the same RDA, but point it to the new server? The scale device sends a login each time it connects, which looks like this:

    http://192.168.100.4/CEagentRDA/sscesa20.dll

    Network login name here-

    Password here-

    SQL (actual name of sql server)

    farminv ( name of database)

    sunny (sql login name)

    password (sql password).

    This scenario has worked fine until now. According to the RDA setup instructions I had, it didn't matter where the IIS & RDA were set up. I have tried using this same login, but changing the Sql server name & login, but can't seem to make it work. The scale device writes directly to the database, so I would think the RDA is just a pointer. I thought maybe I wasn't using correct syntax. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

  • I installed CE 2.0 on the new server, but it tells me IIS is not started, but it is. Any thoughts?

  • This has been resolved. We changed the actual server name to it's IP address and added the relevant login info.
