SIMS August Main Release is here

[DMcCoy]

Sigh. So you can only dowload and apply an update once I see. It would be nice if solus checked the VERSION rather than assume if you dowloaded it you don't need it again.

 

I reverted my VM snapshot as I had a scheduled task interupt the process, and now I can't get solus to give me any updates. Just exactly what you would want if you had to restore from backup outside of school hours.

 

I'm downloading the CD instead as I have around 12 hours to get 2005/aug/sql fms going.

 

Oh I also PAY them money to get the updates released late. I kept being told the august release wasn't out.

Right thats it - I'm NOT letting the LEA anywhere near my SIMS Server this week!!! 8O

[tech_guy]

LEA broke my server - not fair!

 

So does anyone know how to fix my "Sims connection failed for login [name], reason: 7" error message?

[Gatt]

Exam Results week and the LEA's are upgrading SIMS .net 8O

[DMcCoy]

I get that error now too. All I've done is run the august upgrade. Nothing else has been changed. Investigating...

SIMS Connection failed for login USERNAME reason 7

 

 

You do not have permission

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Advice This error occurs if you are using SQL Server 2000 service pack 4 and are on the August 2007 release of SIMS .net

 

 

To resolve the error you need to action the following.

 

 

Please run i.e D:\Simsroot\Sims\setups\SIMSSQLApplicationsetup.exe v1.558.12.0

This will update the Binn directory on the SQL Server

 

 

From i.e C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SIMS\Binn

Please run SQLTools.exe

Go to File | Manage SP4 SQL 2000

In the Manage SP4 window double click on the SQL 2000 instance

Click the Connect button

Ensure that the tick is in the Enable Sims Security box

Click ok this will save the changes

[DMcCoy]

I can confirm that this worked for me.

[Oops_my_bad]

Looking at my current SIMS install I do not appear to have a sysman account anywhere 8O I've looked in system manager and in the SQL database itself under users. Do I need to create the sysman account? I just login using my own but that has full permissions

test please ignore this post

Worked like a dream - ran it on my test system and it fixed the problem so have now implemented in on my sql box. Thank you DMcCoy! LEA still have not responded as of this morning....

[Optimus]

We updated to Aug - but only installed SIMS.net not SQL updates or FMS conversion thing....

 

Sims.net is working fine... will wait to see how people get on installing SQL etc before we rush in!

 

What I don't understand is.. we are on SQL 2000 Enterprise... Do we need to upgrade to 2005 Enterprise - or the free version bundled with Sims?

I have done the August Update and found that in Lesson monitor some of my teachers timetables dont appear correctly. It shows blank grey square but not class name. if you double click grey square then you get class but.

 

Any suggestions

I suspect this is because your classes are not live yet.

[phillipmillward]

It seems ok for subjects like English, Maths & Science though

 

Thanks

[PhilNeal]

I wonder if the dates on those classes are different. If not then please log a call.
