OK...in the spirit of SQL questions being answered the last couple days, i have one that i could REALLY USE SOME HELP WITH.
I am about to tear my hair out here. In a basic explanation, we are trying to setup a test environment for an application I am building. There are some existing Stored Procedures and they reference a linked server to do some of the work. For Example: the stored procs reference dbname.dbo.table where "dbname" is a linked server. For the test environment, we want to create a linked server by the same name, only it points to the test db on another server "testname" that is exactly the same as production. So do avoid having to change all the names in the stored proc The problem is we get all kinds of DTC errors depending on what options we try, but they are basically all like "cannot find 'dbname' in syslinks" or "cannot start Distributed Transaction." its driving me crazy...can anybody give me a link or a step by step on how to do what i am describing above. PLEASE... drew |

QUOTE(drewvw @ Mar 27 2007, 01:11 PM)  can anybody give me a link or a step by step on how to do what i am describing above. sounds more like a DNS/network issue ... is the target server is available on the network under the same name as used in the SP? is your dev network connected to the live network? if so, you need to make sure that your SQL setup points to the correct linked SQL server ... can you access the linked server directly using a ODBC DSN?
