Restoring a Connection to the Enterprise Reporter Server There are a number of reasons why a Enterprise Reporter server may be down. When a console loses its connection to the server, it becomes unusable and must be restarted. All users connected to the Enterprise Reporter server are affected. You should check the following connections: • The computer hosting the server is turned on and running properly. • The Enterprise Reporter server service is running. If necessary, restart it using the Services console. • You can reach the host computer over your network. • The server host computer meets the minimum system requirements. If the server has gone down and been restored since you last logged in, then the next time you connect, you will be informed that the server went down. If you are the main Enterprise Reporter administrator, this allows you to be aware that your server has had issues. Intermittent failures over time may be due to instability in your network, problems on the server’s host computer, or your SQL deployment.
