Trying to connect to SQL SERVER

We have SAP on Oracle database but as we are implementing our HR system on SQL Server so we need to connect to SQL SERVER through ABAP in order to retrieve some information. We created the Connection successfully but when trying to retrieve the data it is giving us following dump :
Runtime Errors         DBIF_DSQL2_INVALID_CURSOR
Except.                   CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR
Invalid interruption of a database selection
The code through which i am trying to retrieve the data is as follows :
DATA: c1  TYPE cursor.
DATA : BEGIN OF EMP_DATA OCCURS 0,
        FNAME(5000) TYPE C,
        END OF EMP_DATA.
DATA : fnm TYPE STRING.
EXEC SQL.
   CONNECT TO  'HRMS'
ENDEXEC.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
   MESSAGE 'Connected..' TYPE 'I'.
else.
   MESSAGE 'Not Connected..' TYPE 'I'.
endif.
EXEC SQL.
   OPEN c1  for
   SELECT FNAME
   FROM view_EMPDATAPayroll_New
ENDEXEC.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
   MESSAGE 'Access Successful..' TYPE 'I'.
else.
   MESSAGE 'Access Not Successful..' TYPE 'I'.
endif.
DO.
   EXEC SQL.
     FETCH NEXT c1 INTO  :EMP_DATA.FNAME;
   ENDEXEC.
   APPEND EMP_DATA.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.
ENDDO.
EXEC SQL.
   CLOSE c1
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
   DISCONNECT 'HRMS'
ENDEXEC.
We have tried a lot to solve the error but every time we are getting the same dump. It is giving dump at the following command :
FETCH NEXT c1 INTO  :EMP_DATA.FNAME;
The connection properties are also as follows :
DB Connection      HRMS
DBMS                 MSS
User Name           sa
Conn. info            MSSQL_SERVER=192.168.0.60\SQLEXPRESS MSSQL_DBNAME=HRAlign_Rubamin
Please help me out.

Thanks for your timely response Arun. Solved the issue as I was using Message inside the cursor , I removed that and problem is solved.
When I am retrieving only 2 columns in select statement then it is getting executed but when I am giving more than 2 columns then it is giving error "Incorrect Syntax Near".
But now I made following changes in program and getting dump (with different message).
The code is as under.
DATA: c1  TYPE cursor.
DATA : BEGIN OF EMP_DATA OCCURS 0,
        FNAME(100)       TYPE C,
        LNAME(100)       TYPE C,
        JOINING_CTC(16)  TYPE P DECIMALS 2,
        END OF EMP_DATA.
DATA : fnm(100)    TYPE c,
        lnm(100)    TYPE c,
        jng_ctc(16) TYPE P DECIMALS 2.
EXEC SQL.
   CONNECT TO  'HRMS'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
   OPEN c1  for
   SELECT FNAME LNAME JOINING_CTC  FROM view_EMPDATAPayroll_New.
ENDEXEC.
DO.
   EXEC SQL.
     FETCH NEXT c1 INTO :EMP_DATA
   ENDEXEC.
   APPEND EMP_DATA.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.
ENDDO.
EXEC SQL.
   CLOSE c1
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
   DISCONNECT 'HRMS'
ENDEXEC.
LOOP AT EMP_DATA.
   WRITE: EMP_DATA-FNAME , EMP_DATA-LNAME , EMP_DATA-JOINING_CTC.
ENDLOOP.
At execution I am getting dump with the following message:
Short text
    SQL error 102 occurred when executing Native SQL.
What happened?
    The error 102 occurred in the current database connection "HRMS".
    Error Text of Database: "Incorrect syntax near 'JOINING_CTC'."
    SQL Statement Responsible:"SELECT FNAME LNAME JOINING_CTC FROM
     view_EMPDATAPayroll_New."
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR', was not
     caught and
    therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Error Text of the Database: "Incorrect syntax near 'JOINING_CTC'."
Regards.

    I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
    The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

    I am new to this workshop. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    Have you created database connection pool and datasource in admin console pointing to your SQL server? Once you have created both, try connecting from workshop using databse control with the help of already created connection poll and datasource.

  • "Access denied by Business Data Connectivity" on trying to connect to SQL server for creating external content type

    I was trying to create external client type but whenever I try to connect to Database server it is showing me error"Access denied by Business Data Connectivity". I have given the Secure Store Target Application ID coorectly and it is setup coorectly.
    In BDC service application I have given myself all the permissions( edit,execute,Selectable in clients,Set Permissions) through set metadata store permission option in it.
    Please suggest what other reason can be there for the error.
    Thanks and Regards
    Gaurav

    Hi Gaurav,
    If you have given your account all permissions through setting metadata store permission, the issue should be resolved.
    For a better trouble shooting , I suggest you do as the followings:
    1. Assign administrators to a Business Data Connectivity service application
    Here is a detailed article for your reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff973113.aspx
    2. You can try to recreate a Business Data Connectivity service application to test whether it works.

    The target principal name is incorrect

    The target principal name is incorrect
    Hi Rahul.U,
    Are you able to connect to SQL Server successfully from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) when enforcing encryption?
    According to above error message, it could be caused by the inappropriate server name or incorrect TrustServerCertificate configuration in the connection string from Visual Studio. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this error.
    1. Make sure that you connect to the SQL server using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
    2. When connecting to a SQL Server instance with a valid certificate, please add the
    TrustServerCertificate
    parameter and set it to true in the connection string. For more details, please review this
    article.
    However, if you can successfully connect to SQL Server via SSMS, but still fail to connect to SQL Server from Visual Studio, I would like to recommend you post the question in the .Net Framework forum at
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=netdevelopment . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    There are similar articles about error “The target principal name is incorrect” for your reference.

  • Login fails when connecting to SQL Server 2008

    There were 3 databases and a report server database on sql server 2008 r2. All were renamed.  Now, when trying to connect to sql server I am getting a login failed error for default database. I'm guessing because the default db name was changed. How
    can I fix this so that I can connect to the db server\instance?
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    According to your description, I do a test in SQL Server 2008R2. If you use windows system admin account to log in the instance via Windows authentication, even if you change all use database name, you can still log in successfully. However, if you create
    a SQL Server login name to connect to instance via SQL Server authentication, when you change the default database name, it will
     occur the error which just like at follows .
    //Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
    Login failed for user '***'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider), Error Number: 4064//
    I recommend you change the default database any existing database on your server like master via clicking on Option , or you can run following statement for username
     to replace your original database name with master.
    ALTER LOGIN [login name] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = master
     GO
    Thanks,

    The system cannot find the file specified
    I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
    Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
    many times and cannot connect to my local DB. 
    How do I connect to my Local DB? 
    Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
    instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
    I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
    I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
    May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated. 
    Some of the things I have tried:
    From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
    net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR 
    net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
    on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

    Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

  • Azure Webjobs with EF DB - A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server

    Hi,
    I have been trying to get a very simple WebJob developed and deployed onto Azure with little to no luck.  I have a MVC Website which has a common project which handles my Data Access Layer with Entity Framework.  I have created a WebJob project
    using Visual Studio and added the following lines of code to the Manual Trigger Function
    [NoAutomaticTrigger]
    public static void ManualTrigger(TextWriter log, int value, [Queue("queue")] out string message)
    RitualDBEntities db = new RitualDBEntities();
    log.WriteLine("Function is invoked with value={0}", value);
    List<Location> locations = db.Locations.ToList();
    string msg = string.Empty;
    foreach (Location location in locations)
    msg += location.Name;
    message = msg;
    log.WriteLine("Following message will be written on the Queue={0}", message);
    In my app.config of my WebJob i have the following connection strings:
    <add name="RitualDBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/RitualDBEntities.csdl|res://*/RitualDBEntities.ssdl|res://*/RitualDBEntities.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=ritual-pc\sqlexpress;initial catalog=RitualDB;integrated security=True;persist security info=False;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
    <add name="RitualContext" connectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=RitualDB;Data Source=ritual-pc\sqlexpress" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <add name="AzureWebJobsDashboard" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=ritual***;AccountKey=tQAP0gyMYKtWPJeIbsqk2iT2k69gyd1FwcyRf3+5Mc9b9EdYzpj0Dq8X2VHUmF*****"/>

    When i test locally (F5 Debugging) the webjob runs successfully and does the loop of the objects returned from the database.  When i deploy this Azure the WebJob fails with the following error:

    If i remove any of my database code and use just the basic Stub code my webjob will run successfully so i know that my connection strings (outside of the DB ones) are correct.  My MVC web application also runs perfectly using the same connection strings
    in Azure so i also know that they have also been configured.  
    I am now lost and need some guidance, so if someone is able to assist me that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ritual.

    Can you try to log the connection string you are using in both cases to make sure they are the same?
    Also can you share your site name, either directly or indirectly?
    This will help us investigate.
    Thanks,

  • How to Configure Remote Connections To SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

    Post written June 10, 2010 and pertains to:
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on both my server and local machines: SQLX_SRV,
    SQLX_LOC
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio on both my server and local machines:
    MS_SRV, MS_LOC
    Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise installed on a Hyper-V VPS: WS
    SQL Server Configuration Manager on both my server and local machines:
    CMGR_SRV, CMGR_LOC
    Server Manager: SMGR
    I am connecting to my hosting server via Remote Desktop Connection: RDC
    I installed SQLX_SRV and MS_SRV on my hosting server and SQLX_LOC and MS_LOC on my local development machine.  I am able to use MS_LOC to connect to SQLX_LOC and to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV.  However I am not able to use MS_LOC to connect
    with SQLX_SRV.  Here's what I have done so far:
    SMGR -> Configuration -> Windows Firewall to turn off the Windows Firewall for Domain, Private and Public profiles.  Obviously I'll change this later, but until I can connect I want to remove as many variables as possible.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services to confirm that both SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser services were running.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS to ENABLE the Shared Memory, Named Pipes, and TCP/IP protocols and DISABLE the deprecated VIA protocol.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> double click TCP/IP to open the TCP/IP properties dialogue.  On the Protocol tab Enabled: Yes, Keep Alive: 30000, changed Listen All to No.  I've tried it both
    ways, but I've got six IP addresses on my server and I wanted to configure SQLEXPRESS to listen to only the first and primary IP.  On the IP Addresses tab went to IPALL and cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field. 
    For my first and primary IP Address I made sure that Enabled was Yes, I cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field, and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field.  For all other IP Addresses Enabled was set to No and I cleared both the TCP Dynamic Ports and TCP Port
    fields.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services -> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) right click and Restart.  This of course stopped and restarted my instance of SQLX_SRV enabling the TCP/IP configuration in the previous step to take effect.
    On my server, SQLX_SRV is the only instance of SQL Server running and so it's easy to hard wire it to the default port 1433.
    The instance name for both SQLX_SRV and SQLX_LOC is the default "SQLEXPRESS".  My server machine name is "SERVER1" on the EnglishBrains.com domain.  So the proper local name (local within the context of my remote server as connected via RDC) for
    my instance of SQLX_SRV would be:
    SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS 
    Note the use of a backslash NOT a forward slash. 
    Of course to connect remotely from my development machine, which is not on the same domain as my hosting server, I would need to specify the domain as well, so the SQL Server name becomes:
    SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
    I must also use SQL Server Authentication.  Before I can use such a remote connection, however, there are still several configuration steps required.  So on my server (connected via RDC) I used MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
    for the server name and Windows Authentication.  Once connected I performed the following steps:
    MS_SRV -> right click the connected parent SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS instance node at the top -> Properties -> Security -> Server authentication: select "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode".  This will enable connections using either type
    of authentication.
    Next, leaving the Server Properties dialogue open, Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" box.
    Click OK to save these changes and close the Server Properties dialogue.
    MS_SRV -> Security -> right click Logins and select "New Login...", the Login - New dialogue opens.
    On the General page Enter a name for your new login
    Select SQL Server Authorization
    Enter and confirm a password
    Uncheck Enforce password expiration
    Select the default Database and Language
    On the ServerRoles page Public will be checked, also check SysAdmin.  This is probably not a good idea and I'll uncheck this as soon as I can connect to the SQLX_SRV.
    On the User Mapping page select the databases you want your new Login to access and enter the Default Schema of "dbo".
    At the bottom of the User Mapping page you'll see the Database Roles table.  Public will be selected by default.  Also select db_Owner.  Again this is probably not a good idea, and I'll refine this once I can connect.
    On the Status page confirm that "Grant" is checked under "Permission to connect to database engine" and "Enable" is checked under "Login".
    Click OK to save all changes and close the Login - New dialogue.
    With these steps completed you should now be able to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SQL Server Authentication by supplying the name and password for your new Login.  I tried this and it worked fine.  Next I tried to use this same login
    remotely, that is I went to my local development machine and used MS_LOC to try and connect to SQLX_SRV by using
    SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
    and opting for SQL Server Authentication and supplying the name and password of my new login.
    THIS DID NOT WORK??  Instead I get the following error message:
    Cannot connect to SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS.
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
    SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
    For help, click:
    http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=-1
    If you follow the suggested help link, you are told:
    The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server.  This error could be caused by one of the following reasons:
    A specified SQL Server instance name is not valid.
    The TCP, or named pipes protocols are not enabled.
    The firewall on the server has refused the connection.
    The SQL Server Browser service (sqlbrowser) is not started.
    WRONG on all 4 counts!  The instance name IS valid.  Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols are enabled.  The firewall has been shut down, so it is not relevant.  Finally the SQL Server Browser IS started.
    The next thing I tried was to circumvent discovery by the SQL Browser service by using the following syntax to specify the IP address and port directly when specifying the SQL Server name.
    tcp:68.71.134.186,1433
    Using this in the Server Name field I was able to use MS_SRV to successfully connect to SQLX_SRV (using SQL Server Authentication of course) with or without the SQL Browser service running. 
    However when I tried to connect from MS_LOC to SQLX_SRV using this same login (WITH SQL Browser service running just for good measure) it does not work??  I get the following error message:
    Cannot connect to tcp:68.71.134.186,1433.
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:

    For help, click:
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=10060&LinkId=20476
    If you follow the help link you are told:
    "The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because either the firewall on the server has refused the connection or the server is not configured to accept remote connections."
    However, the firewall has been shut down and the server HAS been configured to accept remote connections! 
    I confirmed that i could indeed Ping to 68.71.134.186  and running NetStat -a |find /i "listening" on the server shows that the server is indeed listening at 68.71.134.186 Port 1433 -- which is why I was able to connect to SQLX_SRV using MS_SRV with
    tcp:68.71.134.186,1433 .
    IN SUMMARY: Even though I can connect to my SQLEXPRESS instance multiple ways from the server itself, I cannot connect remotely from my development machine! 
    If anyone can help me figure out why I would be very, very grateful!

    My two cents to help you out on c# code example to configure the remote sql server express.
    Hope it helps. It works, but you have to be extra carefull to read it all and setup the server configuration and netsh commands; also the port fowarding on the router.
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;
    namespace sqlremoteconnection
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    // this is the local sql server connection
    // 192.168.1.101\SQLEXPRESS
    // now, the configuration for remote access:
    // activate SQL SERVER BROWSER - set it to start "automatic"; then START UP
    // SQL Server Configuration Manager
    // --> SQL SERVER BROWSER -> properties -> Service -> Start Mode -> automatic -> apply
    // --> Log On -> Start -> Ok
                // netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = all profile = CURRENT
                // netsh firewall set portopening protocol = UDP port = 1434 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = all profile = CURRENT
                // netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = tcp action = allow localport = 1433 remoteip = any profile = PUBLIC
                // netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = udp action = allow localport = 1434 remoteip = any profile = PUBLIC
    // VERY IMPORTANT FOR REMOTE ACCESS: you have to add the rules on port fowarding
    // on the router!!!
    // TCP: 1433
    // UDP: 1434
    // or just a personal port like TCP 31433/UDP 31434
    // read carefully the netsh commands above
    // server name: 123.132.24.177\SQLEXPRESS
    // server name: anyurl.myftp.org\SQLEXPRESS,1433 <<-- regular port
    // server name: anyurl.myftp.org\SQLEXPRESS
    // server name: anyurl.myftp.org\SQLEXPRESS,31433 <<-- WOW different PORT here!!!
    SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(
    "user id=sa;" +
    "password=password_goes_here!;" +
    "server=anyurl.myftp.org\\SQLEXPRESS,31433;" +
    //"Trusted_Connection=no;" +
    "database=database_name_here; " +
    "connection timeout=30");
    try
    myConnection.Open();
    catch (Exception e)
    Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
    try
    SqlDataReader myReader = null;
    SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("select * from mytable", myConnection);
    myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
    while (myReader.Read())

    Console.WriteLine(myReader["tab01_age"].ToString());
    catch (Exception e)
    Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());

    Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());

  • A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

    Dear all,
    I know that this topic may be a bit old school; but it really make me mad as I tried all solutions i found and it still cant be resolved....please give a hand...
    The situation is like this,my company divided different platform as a status of project, like DEV, SIT and UAT. I got a project that require me to upgrade an vs2003 project to vs2005. I upgraded it completely and
     successfully, it works fine in development and UAT platform; EXCEPT, the SIT platform.
    The situation is very strange that, once I move the source to SIT, it return the following error:
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
    (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
    but it never happen in either DEV or UAT platform and even do I copy the workable web.config from DEV or UAT platform to SIT, the error still here and unable to resolve it.
    I search a lot in the internet by Google, but solution suggested are not suitable or fail in my case. Most answer suggest that "enable remote control", "check fire wall", "check server" etc......But as I can connect well the
    DBServer in DEV and UAT properly, I dont think those are the cause(but still, I check them all, and all are enabled properly, except my firewall setting is OFF, so adding port is ignored).
    After all the searching and testing, I believed and have reason to believe that, the cause is inside my web.config:
      <appSettings>
        <!--   User application and configured property settings go here.-->
        <!--   Example: <add key="settingName" value="settingValue"/> -->
    <clear/>
        <add key="Environment" value="UAT v1.31"/>
        <add key="DBServer" value="DB_UAT"/>
        <add key="cnBPSS.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;persist security info=True;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;pwd=theloginpwd"/>
        <add key="UTBPSSConn.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;persist security info=False;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;pwd=theloginpwd"/>
        <add key="UTDSBDBConn.ConnectionString" value="workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;user id=theloginid;data source=DB_UAT\DSBDB;persist security info=False;password=theloginpwd"/>
        <add key="cnDSBDB.ConnectionString" value="workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096;user id=theloginid;data source=DB_UAT\DSBDB;persist security info=False;password=theloginpwd"/>
        <add key="Timer1.Enabled" value="True"/>
        <add key="Timer1.AutoReset" value="True"/>
        <add key="cnbpss.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;password=theloginpwd;persist security info=True;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096"/>
        <add key="cnbpss1.ConnectionString" value="data source=DB_UAT\BPSS;password=theloginpwd;persist security info=True;user id=theloginid;workstation id=RP_UAT;packet size=4096"/> 
    </appSettings>
    </configuration>
    I know such kind of setting is old school; But due to this program runs for few years from tons of ppl...I dont dare to modify it unless I am very sure they are the cause.....
    May I ask if anyone cna give me some advice and help in this issue please? I already tried for weeks and turning mad....Please I really need some help...
    Many thanks.

    1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
    2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
    3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
    4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
    5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
    6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine.  For example
    a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
    b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
    7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

  • Network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to sql server

    Hi all,
    I am getting  a SQL error - A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not
    found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
    Problem is when a user tries to connect with remote SQL Server
    through VPN from Domain, it throws this error, and when the same machine tries to connect with Remote SQL Server through VPN as a standlone machine, it is getting connected.
    I checked all the settings but ....... There is no any policies deployed in Active Directory.
    Any suggetion?

    check these
    1) Make sure your server name is correct, e.g., no typo on the name.
    2) Make sure your instance name is correct and there is actually such an instance on your target machine.
    [Update: Some application converts \\ to \. If you are not sure about your application, please try both Server\Instance and Server\\Instance in your connection string]
    3) Make sure the server machine is reachable, e.g, DNS can be resolve correctly, you are able to ping the server (not always true).
    4) Make sure SQL Browser service is running on the server.
    5) If firewall is enabled on the server, you need to put sqlbrowser.exe and/or UDP port 1434 into exception.
