linked server problem calling stored procs

  • Hi all

    Using DevEd SS2k (no service packs). Setup a bog standard linked server to another named instance running on the same box. For some strange reason I am getting the error below:

    exec standbyserver.master.dbo.StandbyServer_restore_full_database_backup

    Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1

    Could not find stored procedure 'master.dbo.StandbyServer_restore_full_database_backup'.

    Server: Msg 7221, Level 18, State 2, Line 1

    Could not relay results of procedure 'StandbyServer_restore_full_database_backup' from remote server 'standbyserver'.

    remotely calling sp_helpdb etc works fine. Ive drawn a blank here.

    ideas?

    Cheers

    Ck

  • Ok

    Worked it out. I was using an alias in the linked server to the other named instance on the same box, I altered this to the actual named instance name and now works fine.

    Cheers
