  1. Check if the database instance is running.
    • In the default configuration the BMS Server uses a local instance of MS SQL Server named NETX_SERVER_SQL
    • Go to Windows Services and check if the service named SQL Server (NETX_SERVER_SQL) is running.
    • If the service is running proceed with step 5.
  2. Check the service startup type
    • In the Windows Services, locate the service named SQL Server (NETX_SERVER_SQL) and open its properties.
    • Set the start type to automatically and click OK.
  3. Start the database service
    • In the Windows Services, locate the service named SQL Server (NETX_SERVER_SQL).
    • Start the service.
    • If the service started successfully, proceed with step 5.
  4. Check the Windows Event Logs
    • If the database service failed to start check the Windows Event Log for specific log entries.
  5. Check BMS Server connection parameters in BMS Studio / Server / System configuration. Be sure to know what you are doing if you deviate from default values. Default values are as follows:
    • SYS / Use historical database checked
    • XDB / Enable DSN: not checked
    • XDB / Use integrated security: not checked
    • XDB / Database user: sa
    • XDB / Database password: netxnetx_123456
    • XDB / Database host name: (a dot).
    • XDB / Database port: (empty)
    • XDB / Use default instance: not checked
    • XDB / Database instance name: NETX_SERVER_SQL
    • XDB / Database DSN: NETX_SERVER_DSN
    • XDB / Connection timeout: 300
    • XDB / Command timeout: 60
    • XDB / Max data age: 0
    • XDB / Auto-purge near-full database: checked
  6. Check the BMS System Messages or the System Log File for error messages. See also XDB_ENGINE;Connect to SysDatabase failed.
