When I open the ILLiad Client, I am getting the message "An error occurred loading the main form.”

Symptom

  • ILLiad 
Resolution

This error means that there is a problem connecting to the SQL server. Hosted sites can follow the same troubleshooting steps used for the pre-logon handshake error.

Here are the common causes of this error:

  • The ATLAS SQL Alias Manager could be set up incorrectly, so double-check this article.
  • Have your institution's network administrators ensure that ports 1433 or 1344 are open for traffic to and from the database. To use port 1344, see this article.
  • If you continue to have issues, please contact OCLC Support
