Specs: ArcGIS 10.0 sp4 with ArcSDE for SQL Server 2005
Problem:I have three ArcSDE geodatabases stored on the same server. Until today, I have been able to connect to them all. Today, one of the connections is not working. When I test the connection, I get the message: "Failed to connect to the specified server. Operation Failed". The only known change that's been made to the database between working and not working is to truncate the log file for the database because it was out of space. One peculiar behavior in ArcCatalog is that if I try to connect toeither of the other two databases on the server, they won't work immediately. I have to wait about five seconds before trying to connect to another database for it to work.
Question: What are some common things to check when a spatial database connection breaks on one database on a server but not other databases on the same server?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
