Database connectivity for HP ALM Octane

I want to connect from my HPE ALM Octane-Server to a MSSQL Server. Now I have the problem, that I can't connect to it because my connection string is invalid. Can you see the problem?

Connection string:

jdbc:mercury:sqlserver://10.135.42.98:1433

Error-Message:

Start setup validation on DbAdminConnection

DbAdminConnection Validation Error: Cannot create DB connection: Db properties: [url='jdbc:mercury:sqlserver://10.135.42.98:1433', dbType=MSSQL, userName='dbOctaneUser'] . Error: An attempt by a client to checkout a Connection has timed out.

thx for helping!

Solution

  • This looks like a DataDirect branded SQL Server JDBC driver and you can find other documented properties in the above url if Mark's suggestions to recheck IP address and port do not resolve.
