We are trying to connect an HR application to Baan Finance using BCK (primarily the connection involves wrapping a Java Object around the Maintain Transactions session.

When we try to connect we get a DS Bridge not running error as below

The error message:

Initializing factoy....
Succeeded!
Creating BOI...
Failed...
BaanConnection Exception

ErrorMEssage: "DS bridge is not running"

We have created the idl and the dll (using ccboi1102m000 and
ttstpcreatedll sessions). The idl is compiling properly and
generating the java stubs. We then ftpd the stubs to the client where BCK client is installed. From here we compiled the stubs using the java compiler to create the class files whose methods would be invoked by the java client(which we wrote as a test case for the list method). The BCBE.cfg file is also correctly configured to contain the correct hostname, userid, pwd, bshell etc, and the classpath is also set correctly. And then when we tried to execute the java client (java JavaClient 943) it gave the above error.

We are stumped as to why it is giving an error in DS bridge...any
lights. I feel we r making some basic mistake.

Versions In use -
Baan - 4c4in3
Porting Set - 5
BCK - 1.3

Thanks in advance.
:(

Its indeed small config problem. Even I faced the same problem some 6 months back.

this error occurs when the variable linkage in svc.conf file in the Lib folder of Baan has been set to "dynamic". change this into static. you are done.
