Changed GP Server now Add-Ins won't resolve servername

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

We changed GP servers and now the C# VS add-ins won't resolve the server name to the IP address listed in the hosts file.  I can ping the server name and see the correct IP address, so the hosts file is being read.  The Add Ins pull the server name from Dynamics.Globals.SqlDataSourceName.Value

On the old server, I know the hosts file is being read because if I comment out the server name and try to run the Add Ins, it generates an error that the directory path \\<server name>\<directories> doesn't exist.

Per the error message, Dynamics.Globals.SqlDataSourceName.Value is finding the correct server name.  What needs to happen to verify that GP can read the hosts file?

    Error did not repeat on another desktop. Issue must be with connection settings.
