Check to see if your server can ping the database server by name. I had a similar issue after a client change but was evident in AIE because I was using the FQDN (which had always worked and was still working on another server), I changed to the short db name and connected no problem.

Has anybody experienced any issues in this area? The error message we are seeing on startup are: Thu Mar 11 12:38:41 2010 390600 : Missing data in the SQL database (propList format -- 34\20\4\7\enduser\162\2\7\164\2\0\165\2\0\166\4\8\0xe5dfd4\167\9\2\29642 6\ffd8ffe000104a46494600010100000100010000ffdb00430001010101010101010101 0101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 (ARERR 556) Thu Mar 11 12:38:41 2010 SRS:ServiceRequestConsole Thu Mar 11 12:39:04 2010 390600 : Form does not exist on server (ARERR 303) Thu Mar 11 12:39:04 2010 390600 : Error in definition for an active link (ARERR 399)... Then a long list of subsequent errors from workflow that can't see the "SRS:ServiceRequestConsole" form. After startup, logging into the User Tool produces an error (Can't generate Application List) on the Home Page, and no navigation links are present. Other forms can be accessed, as long as the form does not contain an Application List field. Environment: (Test) Hardware: sun4v OS: SunOS 5.10 Server Language: en_US;UTF-8 Database Version: Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit ARS: 7.1.00 Patch 007 ITSM: 7.0.3 Patch 008 Notes: * We have three (3) app servers which point to the db instance mentioned above. * Two (2) of the servers (running the 10.2.0 client) work fine and start without errors. * Only the server running the 10.2.0.4 client has the issues. o If we roll back the client on this server to 10.2.0, it also works fine. * Our requirements call for the oracle client to be at 10.2.0.4 so we need to resolve this issue, then apply to the other two servers. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
