Connect SQL Server through DBCO -
DBCONNECT
This question is Assumed Answered.
Hi Guys,

I am trying to connect to one of the SQL Server in my Domain. I have made entries as mentioned by
SAP note in DBCO Transaction. When I am testing connection through program
'ADBC_TEST_CONNECTION' it is showing me following error:

Testing a Database Connection Defined in DBCON

Could not open connection SQLCONNECTION

I have already installed DBMSSSLIB.DLL in executable directory also.

Please advice.

Hi,

I have had the same problem in the past....

If you have a multi server environment I.E. CI/DB Apps wherever you put the LIB library you must be
on that sever when executing the test program..

Hope that helps.

Hi,

It is not a Multi Server Environment and I have put this DBMSSSLIB.DLL in the Application Server from
where I amconnecting. I have check connection to SQL Server through other programs and they are
working fine but from SAP it is not working. Connection right now cannot be made through SAP and I
am getting the same error as mentioned in the first post.

Please Advice.

Thanks,

Hi,

Connection String in DBCON is

MSSQL_SERVER=tcp:<ServerIPAddress>MSSQL_DBNAME=<DataBaseName>

I have put the DLL file in EXE folder as mentioned in Note 178949. I dont know this DBMSSSLIB.PDB
file. It is not mentioned in the note.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Usman Malik

Hi,

I would assume the pdb file was part of the lib bundle I got off OSS.

Now I have one of my ERP6 systems that runs Oracle but I am connecting to an open source DB
based through MSS

As you mentioned you have the libs loaded in the exe/run directory.

To connect to the MSS systemI have had to create an system DNS ODBC on the source system.
In my case I run an Hetrogeneous systemenvironment UNIX CI/DB IBM window blades, so I created
the ODBC on the app server.

Now my DBCO connection string is MSSQL_DATASOURCE=<Name of ODBC>

The test program then worked. Also there will be som good trace files out of it for analysis run report

Hi,

Your SAP server is running on Windows?

put DBMSSSLIB.DLL in these directories:

X:\usr\sap\SID\D*\exe
X:\usr\sap\SID\sys\exe\run
X:\usr\sap\SID\sys\exe\ (i386 or ntamd64) \ (nuc or uc)

then, try again,.

Hi,

As mentioned I have put these files i.e. DBMSSSLIB.DLL and DBMSSSLIB.PDB (64bit) in the following
directories and restarted the server:

X:\usr\sap\SID\D*\exe
X:\usr\sap\SID\sys\exe\run
X:\usr\sap\SID\sys\exe\ (i386 or ntamd64) \ (nuc or uc)

tried again but still it is showing the same error when i execute ADBC_TEST_CONNECTION program
in SE38:

-
Testing a Database Connection Defined in DBCON

Could not open connection ABC
sql error 1- occured:
-

SQL Server is Standard Edition and OS is Windows 2008 R2 64bit. Our SAP Server is also Windows
2008 64bit.

Please advice what to do now because I have done entries in DBCO Transaction correctly as
mentioned by the note 178949 i.e.

CON_NAME: <my_conn_name>
DBMS: MSS
USER_NAME: <db_user>
PASSWORD: <password>
CON_ENV: MSSQL_SERVER=<server_name>MSSQL_DBNAME=<db_name>

I am using SQL Server Administrator Username/Password to connect to this Server.

Thanks,

Hello,

Are you trying to connect from unix ci to Microsoft sql?
What you propose is not supported as the unix server will not be able to
read the Microsoft shared libraries.

Hi,

Hi Mark,

Yes i tried with ODBC. ODBC shows that the connection is fine. I tried to use OLEDB and it was not
working with SQL Server. Then for the test i made MSAccess Database, made its ODBC connection
and tried with the same OLEDB code and it was working fine.

I think there is an issue between this SAP and SQL Server 2008. SAP is not able to communicate to
SQL Server 2008 with DBConnect or ODBC. DLL and PDB Files are placed in run directory of SAP in
the Server as mentioned but still no use.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Usman Malk

Yes Mark,

We have raised ticket with SAP too. Right now they want access to SQL and SAP Server. Let's see
what solution they are going to give. Will keep you posted if they are done.

Otherwise we would have to use J ava or .Net with their respective connectors from SAP Market place
to accomplish this task.

Thanks for your help.

Hi dude!

Checking the dbsl_w<NN> as it is explained in point 3 of the 'Troubleshooting' section of [SAP note
738371|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/738371] would help a lot to know the reason of the
failure.

I hope this helps you!

Cheers!
