A problem seemed silly -- cannot connect to SDE service

YuDe — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 01:46:38 GMT

Hi,
i've just installed ArcSDE 9.2 for oracle 10g on my web server , OS on which is Windows Server 2003 . Install , post install , all passed as usual . Service started as well . all the problem is i cannot connect to it. i checked the database through PL/SQL Developer , the user and password is right , tables on the account has been created . i checked the service file on %SYSTEM%/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ECT/ and my service has been wrote and did not conflict with other services . i tried to connect it through ArcCatalog on my machine , failed , said " Operation Failed". i wrote a little program (which is proved correct) and ran it on the server , said "Entry for SDE instance no found in the service file" ...
i don't know what to do now. can anybody give me a hand?
thank you.

Is the etc/sevices entry the last line in the file?

Are you connecting from the same host, or a different one? If different, does *it*
have a services entry?

What does 'sdemon -o status' report?

What does 'sdelayer -o describe' report?

i searched the error code -102 in google , and little helpful information found....

'sdelayer -o describe -i port:# -u user -s localhost' and enter the password for that user , reports:

you do not have access to any layer in this database

Finally ... i found i am really , really silly ...

as the title said ...
i finally found that it's the ArcEngine license that cause the problem ...
i develop the little problem mentioned above in my machine , which with DEV license , and forget to register AE license in the server ...
thanks vangelo very much ...
Ted.
