Q132040

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0

-

SUMMARY
Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0 has added some new and more informative error messages to help determine what problem is occurring when performing server to server RPCs.

MORE INFORMATION
The server is now using DB-Library (DB-Lib) login error and message handlers. On previous versions of SQL Server, any failed RPC connection for whatever reason resulted in the following error:

Login to site 'sitename' failed.

This error is now replaced with the following:

Unable to connect to site 'sitename' because it is unavailable or does

not exist. (4.2x and 6.0)

Unable to connect to site 'sitename' because it is not configured for

remote access. (6.0)

Unable to connect to site 'sitename' because 'server' is not defined

as a remote server. (6.0)

Unable to connect to site 'sitename' because 'login' is not defined as a

remote login at the site. (6.0)

Unable to connect to site 'sitename' because login failed.

(4.2x and 6.0)

When RPCing between version 6.0 servers, all messages will be used. When RPCing between a version 6.0 server and a version 4.2x server, only two of the new messages will be used.
