Posted on by 470

im trying to connect to a database using odbc in x++. im always getting error that the operation failed. i double checked the server name and the database name and it still wont connect. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks!

heres a part of my code:

 

OdbcConnection connection; 

LoginProperty loginProp;

;


loginProp = new LoginProperty();

    loginProp.setServer("[insert server name here]");

    loginProp.setDatabase("[insert database name here]");

    try

    {

        connection = new OdbcConnection(loginProp);

    }

    catch

    {

        error ("You do not have access to the database specified");

        return;

    }

    Hi Macarilay ,

    Hope you are good.

    I am facing the very same error "ODBC operation failed.\nUnable to log on to the database.".

    I tried with the suggested code change  but could not fix it.

    logInProperty.setDSN(systemInfo.getloginDSN());

    Value is returning in this is null.

    It would be great if you could help on this.

    Regrds,

    DAX

    solved it. i created a system dsn with the ax database as my default database then i modified my code.

    i removed loginProp.setServer and loginProp.setDatabase and replaced it with loginProp.setDSN("[insert DSN name here]")

    worked for me.
