Thank you Neal, my error now is Stage OS user ASC\asc_delphix not found There were problems with dSource action. No job defined. I have the Stage OS user set as a sysadmin on the source SQL server ------------------------------ Brian Fountain Associate ...

Hi Brian, If you are executing dxtoolkit commands from Windows, you may not have to escape the backslashes. I'm not 100% sure but the examples in the dxtoolkit documentation ( https://github.com/delphix/dxtoolkit/wiki/dx_ctl_dsource ) may have been executed ...

You are correct, there's a named instance SQL2016 rather than the default. I changed that, and got a different error, but its related to stage_os_user not found. I'll have to investigate that one, but thank you! ------------------------------ Brian ...

Hi Brian, It looks like a different error. Now it is getting " Staging instance MSSQLSERVER in environment pditsdlpdb09 not found.".

i really thought that was going to be the smoking gun!  But alas, no still same error C:\temp\dxtoolkit2> dx_ctl_dsource -d pditsdlpap09 -type mssql -sourcename AdventureWorks2016 -sourceinst MSSQLSERVER  -sourceenv pditsdbadb01 -source_os_user "asc\\asc_delphix" ...

Hi Brian, Try taking out the space in this parameter "  - stageenv" Thanks, Neal ------------------------------ Neal Stack Senior Principal Technical Support Engineer Delphix ------------------------------

Just tried that, still getting same error. C:\temp\dxtoolkit2> dx_ctl_dsource -d pditsdlpap09 -type mssql -sourcename AdventureWorks2016 -sourceinst MSSQLSERVER  -sourceenv pditsdbadb01 -source_os_user "asc\\asc_delphix" -dbuser delphix_sql -password ...

Hi Brian, Does it work if you escape the user ( "asc\\asc_delphix") and get rid of these extraneous backslashes (UbR \ -group "ITS-DBA") and (MSSQLSERVER \ -sourceenv pditsdbadb01)? On a Unix command line you might need the backslashes for line continuation ...
