Business Notification installation problem

jorgito

Hi all.

I am trying to install BN on Windows Server 2003 with SQL 2005. I have NAV 4.03 installed.

I have created a BNUser as an administrator and made him sysadmin in SQL with default database the client's database. I also added him as a super user in Navision.

I try to install the Notification Manager from the CD.

After filling all the fields in all the steps, installation starts. Before finishing, an error occurs saying "The database master does not exist. Supply a valid database name."

What does it mean?

Thanx in advance

Check your MasterDBConnectionString in your ASP.NET Configuration Setting.

To check :
1. Start > Run. Type "inetmgr".
2. Expand ComputerName > Default Web Site > BusinessNotificationDeploymentServer.
3. Right click and look for its properties.
4. ASP.NET tab > Edit Configuration.
5. General Tab > Application Settings (bottom list). Look for the MasterDBConnectionString.

It should be look like this "server=SQLInstanceName;Integrated Security=SSPI;database=master" where SQLInstanceName is the instance name you are connecting.

Hi NaviDev.

I cannot find the specified property.

In IIS I do not have a BusinessNotificationDeploymentServer.

I tried the properties of Default Web Site but there are no Application settings.

I searched thru the registry to find the property MasterDBConnectionString but I can't.

Where can it be stored?

Thanks

Do I need to install and configure the Navision Application Server?

No, NAS is part of installation of BN Server.

The error with the "Master" database is a bug.

I found it in PartnerSource and Microsoft tells you to contact support and download a hotfix.
