MYOB advises that the following error message "Error: MDM "Fail to setup connection to File store server.Server = <<servername>>, Port = 4001 Reason : No such host is known" may appear when saving a document into MYOB Document Manager (DM).

This error message occurs when the MYOB Services are not running or host names are incorrect after a migration.

The two services that must run at all times can both be checked on the server where the data file store resides. These services are:

MYOB DMFS Service: and
MYOB Indexing Service:

The following instructions will guide you to checking that these services are running.
