Hi,

Need urgent help.

I am using below code for establishing ODBC connection but getting error as

"ODBC operation failed.
Unable to log on to the database."

Please help.

static void SITestODBC(Args _args)
{
    OdbcConnection           oDBCConnection;
    LoginProperty            loginProperty;
    str                      connectionString;


    try
    {
        connectionString = "DSN=RFIDDB_UAT;Database=myTest_db;UID=sa;PWD=$1234;";

        loginProperty = new LoginProperty();
        loginProperty.setOther(connectionString);
        oDBCConnection = new ODBCConnection(loginProperty);
        if(oDBCConnection)
        {
            info("success");
        }
    }
    catch
    {
        throw error("@CHI814");
    }

}

Hi Rhushikesh Raut,

How did you create your DSN?

You don't need to put the username and password in your connection string.

Try the following code:
loginProperty = new LoginProperty(); loginProperty.setDSN("dsnName"); loginProperty.setDatabase("databaseName"); odbcConnection = new OdbcConnection(loginProperty);

Refer to:docs.microsoft.com/.../how-to-connect-to-an-external-database-from-x-code

Hi Will, I will test the connection directly from Administrative tools first and will update you. It might be the case that the credentials have been changed as before this error I was able establish connection with same code.

Hi Rhiushikesh,

Please check if any permissions have been changed on the external database as well. That could also cause this issue.
