Title: setting up Audit DB from Data source connection fails
Post by: cognos05 on 07 Mar 2018 09:54:20 AM
Hi ,

I am trying to connect to a sql server 2016 database from cognos data source .

I have the native client chosen and entered the credentials  along with jdbc checked .

I have the results as native client logon failed and
JDBC succeded .

Wjat does that mean can the cognos still write or read from the sql using jdbc 

How do I make the native client also work .

In the drivers of cognos installation i have sqljdbc42.jar . For native client to work should i install other drivers .

Thanks,

Hi,

For the native client to work you need to install the SQL Server Native Client libraries on the server.

Cheers!

Hi,

It's part of the SQL Server install
