When setting up a workstation to perform the eGen process, once in a while there is a step that I seem to forget.  It has to do with two settings in the JDBJ.INI file that need to be changed from their default values and JDBJ driver files:

• [JDBj-SPEC DATA SOURCE] – This whole stanza needs to be commented out.  If you don’t, the eGen application will here for the location to which you want to generate your serialized objects, which is defaulted to the local MSDE database.
• [JDBj-JDBC DRIVERS] – The values in this stanza are commented out by default.  You will need to uncomment the drivers that are appropriate to your installation.  For me, that is:
• AS400=com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver
• SQLSERVER=com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
• JDBJ Driver Files – The four files below need to be copied to the C:e811MISC directory. 
• jt400.jar
• msbase.jar
• mssqlserver.jar
• msutil.jar
