PRB: Problems with SAF and Novell Requester NETAPI.DLL File ID Number: Q65350

1.10 1.11 4.20 OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS Whenever SAF is started (or other front ends), a NetServerEnum error is returned when it goes to find available servers.

ISQL appears to work fine; therefore, it appears that named pipes are working correctly.

CAUSE NETAPI.DLL is not in the same directory as SAF.

RESOLUTION To support the SQL Server installation and a few different SQL Server front ends (including SAF), Novell provides some DLLs (dynamic-linked libraries) with the Requester in a directory named. One of the DLLs is named NETAPI.DLL. This file must be copied into the same directory as the front end(s). A path for it can be set up in the LIBPATH system setting; however, be careful because other applications may need a different version of NETAPI.DLL.

Please note that even though ISQL works correctly, this does not necessarily mean that named pipes are working. A user on a server can enter ISQL without the /S option, in which case it will default to the local server. In this case, named pipes are not used, and therefore this is no guarantee that the named pipes are functioning.
