I developed my solution on Mac with servoy 2.1 beta.  
Now I upgraded to 2.1 final, and installed Servoy even on a Windows2000 server.  
Servoy server and developer seems to work without problems on Windows2000 server, but I’m not able to import my solution.

On the Mac I export the solution and this works.  
But when I try to import on the Win2000 server I have this error:  
**com.servoy.j2db.persistence.RepositoryException: java.lang.NullPointerException**

I tried even to reimport the solution on the Mac (with another name), but the same error occurs.

log.txt file reports simply same error.

seen the problem  
One of your security groups does have security settings over 2 servers. And only one server is used by that soluiton.

We will fix this so that the import/exporter handles this much better. But for now you have to create a server in youre servoy instance where you are doing the import. (name that server: kb\_mysql )

Then you can import fine.

ok.  
kb\_mysql is the server I used for some testing.  
Now I have a new server accessing a sybase db.

Another question: the sybase db is on a file not present on the  
new PC where I’m importing. By now I have created it using Sybase cantral. Is this right or can the import procedure create it automatically?

A database (a server) can never be created.  
You first have to create the database (mysql or sybase or whatever).  
Then make a server connection to that database (servoy preferences)  
then import youre solution.
