I hope it helps. >-218 Synonym (name) not found. When a -581 is received when executing a SET EXPLAIN ON it usually points to a problem with the order of installation of products. Check on the order that the products were installed. It is also possible that you may have received a new tool and installed it without installing a new engine. The message files of the new tool overwrote the old message files the engine uses. I suggest reinstalling the products in the following order: Tools Engines Network This should end the problem with the -581.
