ODI 10.1.3.4.0 - Topology Manager Connection Error using SQL 2005 SP3

Question

Hello All,
I am using the ODI repository in SQL 2005 SP3. I could create my master repository using the following parameters:
driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
URL:jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://server_name:1433;SelectMethod=direct;DataBaseName=ODI
I needed to copy to the drivers directory all files of SQL 2000 (msutil.jar, msbase.jar,mssqlserver.jar) and SQL 2005 (sqljdbc.jar). I am using the JRE 1.4.2 and JDBC 2005 1.2 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378422(SQL.90).aspx)
But when I try to connect in Topology Manager to create the work repository appears the following error:
using this driver string: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC] Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.
using this driver string: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
Does Somebody know what is happening?

Hi,
If you plan on using the SQL Server 2005 drivers then you only need the 1.2 sqljdbc.jar file in the drivers directory.
The connection details for SQL Server 2005 should be like the following.
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
jdbc:sqlserver://<sqls machine>:1433;databaseName=<db name>;integratedSecurity=false
I would try just with just the correct driver in place, remove the others, restart any ODI components and then make sure the connection information is correct like above.
Cheers
John
