Troubleshooting: Unable to start Responder Explorer on SQL Server

Problem: The following error occurs when the user attempts to open Responder Explorer.

Fix: In DataServices.exe.config and PredictionServices.exe.config, the Connection Data information requires a value for the Initial Catalog attribute. In the example below, the SQL Server database is called "rx".

<configuration name="gistest"> <multicast group="239.254.001.006" port="6679" ttl="2" /> <database> <connectionString>Data Source=gistest;Initial Catalog=rx;User ID=responder;Password=responder</connectionString> <providerFactoryClass type="Miner.Data.Access.ProviderFactories.SqlProviderFactory, Miner.Data.Access" /> <syntaxClass type="Miner.Data.Access.SqlDataSyntax, Miner.Data.Access" /> <schemaConfigurationFile>DatabaseSchemaConfig.xml</schemaConfigurationFile> </database>
