Hi 
 
I am really impressed by the way this forum works. I get prompt replies every time! 
Thanks to all forum contributors. 
 
I am trying to create my first Information Object. As the first step, I create a new IO project. 
Then, when I am trying to create the Data Connection Definition, I get the error: 
 
<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' >Connection Wizard failed to get the database type list. The AXIS engine could not find a target service to invoke! targetService is null</blockquote>
 
It looks like I have missed to install or configure something that is required for Information Objects. 
 
Can you tell me what I need to do? Can you point me to documentation on pre-requisites for IO (if any)? 
 
Thank you, 
Srividya Sharma

Make sure that you have configured your iServer profile correctly, and that your IO Project points to that profile. Otherwise, you will only get 5 types in your definition types, and that might be the source of your error.

Hi

Can you tell me how to ensure that my iServer is configured correctly?

(I installed iServer Express and created a profile. I am able to publish design files and view them without any problem)

I confirm that my IO Project points to the right iServer profile.

Thank you.

Information Object Designer needs to connect to the integration service of the iServer. 
Could you check if the integration is running on your iServer machine? 
On windows open the task manager and you should see a process named intsrvr11.exe 
On Unix, do a ps and you should see the process also. 
 
Which information did you put in your iServer profile within Information object?

Srividya Sharma

Yes, intsrvr11.exe is running.
Here are the details of my iServer profile:
Profile Name: iServer 1
iServer: localhost
Port Number: 8000
Volume: mycomp
Username: Administrator
Password: *****
Information Console server: localhost
Information Console port: 8000
Context path: /iportal

I am using Actuate 11 iServer and Actuate BRD Pro 10.

Thanks.

Hi,
I think your problem comes from the fact that you are not using the same product version between BRD and iServer.
Do you have the possibility to install BRD Pro 11 and see if it works better.
A quick test on my side produced many error when trying to connect from BRD 10SP1fix3 to an iServer 11.
