Running Sparx on a server
« on: April 15, 2015, 11:17:17 pm »
Good Morning,

         Please I would be grateful if someone could elaborate on any issues with running sparx on windows server for a web based application.

We currently have a web application that uses the Automation interface to access sparx db.

Thanks a lot

The guys at LieberLieber managed to do something like that: EA as an unattended Windows Service on Windows Server 2008R2 and higher

Hi Olad,

I'd love to here how you get on with this; I tried following the advice that Geert points to but still hit issues. I suspect its down to our corporate build of windows server 2008 - security restrictions etc...the issue I hit occurs when I try to load a sparx repository that uses an ole connection to an SQL server instance (local access server is fine). My connection is using a fixed username/password for the sql server which works fine when I open the eap directly on win server, but fails when launched as an unattended service. My current nasty solution is to ensure that I'm always logged onto the win server....
