Feature service requires a registered database

SteveBurdette

I have recently upgraded to ArcServer 10.3 (from 10.2.2), and have since been unable to publish a web service with any new enterprise geodatabases that I've created.  I create the new database using the "Create Enterprise Geodatabase" option under Data Management Tools in ArcCatalog.  I am using a SQL Server login that is has administrator rights on the SQL Server.  After the geodatabase is successfully created I register the database successfully with the server.  I then create a feature class, add it to a map, and attempt to "Share As...Service from the ArcMap menu.  In the analyze phase of the service dialog I continue to get "Feature service requires a registered database" even though I can open up the server data store manager and successfully validate the new database (and all of my other databases). 

I am using the same SQL Server login to create the database and the ArcCatalog database connection that accesses the feature class.  Any ideas on what else I need to take a look at? 

Thanks,

Steve

The root cause of this error was using the fully-qualified hostname sometimes versus not using it other times.  I was typing just the hostname (MyServerName) versus the fully qualified hostname (MyServerName.Ua.Edu).  So, when I created the database connection the name was converted to fully qualifiied, which didn't necessarily match the name I used when registering the database. 

So, to fix this issue I'm importing my database connection when registering the database to ensure that the server names are the same in both entries.
