Hello,

When I try to connect to existing stored database connections or new database connections. I get the errors outlined below. The error sound like either a java or permission error.

Does any one have advice on how to figure this issue out?

Thanks!

SQL Server and ArcSDE I get the error:

"Unable to Retrieve connection NameOfConnection Please check log file. The message window lists some Java error. Image below:

Accordingly I thought my old connection may have an issue, so I went to create a new connection to the same database, and receive the error below.
