It seems you are not connectig to the DB.

Check the sintax of the connect string in the MXServer.properties file and be sure you can connect to the DB server fom the Maximo machine.....
Also try to check user/password used to connect to the DB

[amdisuk]

Seems to me that its either the server name is wrong or the jdbc syntax is wrong.

doe svmmax52 tell us that you are connection to a Virtual Machine instance? If so you will probably have to specify the virtual machine ip address rather than the hosts computer name.

yes, vmmax52 is a VM instance...  i'll try to use the ip first...  thnx...
