Hi All-

Last night below error occured and 31 jobs failed as MASH DB connection went down while run was attempting to initialize rungroup

RunGroupInitializer Log Snippet

Connecting to WPPROMASHSQL\MASH...
Exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' was caught.
Message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Stack trace:
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)

I am able to connect MASH DB now.Does anyone have suggestions where to start from to isolate what happened last night resulting in below error. your suggestions are much appreciated

Thanks
Anita

You should check with your network administrator if you found that SQL Server was up during that timeframe.

Thank you Tara. I am working with network admin to isolate this issue.

Also just got an update from end user
the machines also appeared to have connectivity issues with the wtt db at that time too. it looks like it was whole host machines that didn't have connectivity

Thanks
Anita
