Data Gateway Add Connection API

Saravanan
Contributor III

I am trying to connect with a database inside Archer DB server using Archer OOB Flexible SQL Data Gateway Connector.  I am able to generate the session token, but getting error with Add Connection API. 

 

We are using Archer 6.7.00000.1184.  The same connection string is working through a data feed.  Kindly help me to resolve the issue.

 

Below is my JSON request and the error i am getting

 

API URL: http://xxx.xx.xx/RSAArcher/platformapi/DataGateway/Connections

JSON Request:

{

I guess, \b is for backspace.  For Backslah, its \\.  If i use \\, i am getting the below error on running search

Sorry about that.

 

Can you point to the IP address?

 

I dunno if this will work, but from the server running the script, can you update the hosts file to point to the db?  That is:

 

databasename\\withslashes ThisIsShorter

 

Or

 

databaseIPaddress ThisIsShorter

Yeah, tried that too.. IP address login is not working even for direct sql server connect or from datafeed.  I verified the GetConnection Api result and confirmed the data source is having only one \, i.e "Data Source=ARCHER6-6\MSSQLXX;Initial Catalog=Test_DB_DataG;User ID=User12;Password=XXX;TransparentNetworkIPResolution=False".  Even by having correct data source, its throwing above error.

 

Hi Rajaram,

            just to check if its a single node you can remove the \MSSQLXX (i.e.  Data Source=ARCHER6-6 ) 

and try to login and if it works in SQL client do the same in connection string also.

 "Data Source=ARCHER6-6;Initial Catalog=Test_DB_DataG;User ID=User12;Password=XXX;TransparentNetworkIPResolution=False"

 

 "Data Source=ARCHER6-6\MSSQLXX;Initial Catalog=Test_DB_DataG;User ID=User12;Password=XXX;TransparentNetworkIPResolution=False"

Nope its having multiple instance.  I will need to make this instance as the default instance to try this.

Did you do an IIS reset after the API ran successfully? That is required pre-6.8. 

Yes,  Caylor.. Done IIS Reset after api successfull ran.

Are you able to log in and access your data with your SQL user to SSMS? 

Yes, even i am able to connect sql by data feed using the same data source.
