Cannot generate SSPI context when creating External Data Source in SQL 2019 - sql-server

I'm trying to create an External Data Source for PolyBase via ODBC connectors in SQL Server 2019, but I'm getting the error:
OLE DB provider "MSOLEDBSQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Cannot generate SSPI context".
Msg -2146893042, Level 16, State 1, Line 11
SQL Server Network Interfaces: No credentials are available in the security package
I am using SSMS 18.4 and I'm running the following command:
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE TEST
WITH (
LOCATION = 'odbc://sap.company.com',
CONNECTION_OPTIONS = 'DSN=SAP',
CREDENTIAL = my_creds
);
I did a fair amount of reading and it seems like the error can be 1 of many things. But I can't really find anything where it relates to External Data Sources.
Any advice or guesses will be appreciated.
I'm running SQL 2019 Developer (RTM) 64 bit on Windows 10
I have an ODBC entry called SAP that connects succesfully
my_creds has been created in SQL with SAP user name and password.
My SQL 2019 PolyBase Engine service is running under Network Service (same with the PolyBase Data Movement service).
TCP/IP has been enabled on the PolyBase service.

How to create target connection to load data from SQL Server to MS Access 2016 in Informatica Powercenter?

My goal is to load data from SQL Server to MS Access table.
Informatica Server is - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
Informatica Version is - 10.2.0 Hotfix 1
MS Access Version - 2016
MS Access file location - Windows
Reading from SQL Server is no issue, but I am not able to figure out how to connect to MS Access database file that is in my local windows directory.
I created an ODBC connection in workflow manager and used dummy username and password. I am not sure if I have to use dummy credentials here either.
ODBC connection in Informatica
I created DSN in my local computer. Using the DSN, I was able to create Informatica target in mapping designer.
ODBC DSN
MS Target in Designer
When I run the wf, I get the below error. I probably need to update the ODBC.ini file in my informatica server. But I don't know what details I could use there e.g. which driver to use or other fields.
Workflow Error
Error code: -
CMN_1022 [

Database Error: Failed to connect to database using user [test] and connection string [IFRSXTRACT].]
Can someone guide me if there are any other steps to establish connection to MS Access.

How do I resolve encryption error connecting to SQL Server from Oracle SQL Developer

My objective is to use the migration tool in SQL Developer to migrate 2 SQL Server databases to Oracle. I am attempting to connect to a SQL Server database at a remote location using Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.
I have installed jtds.1.3.0.jar per instructions, and get the SQL Server and Sybase tabs in the connection properties window.
I have entered the user, pw, hostname, port, and database name. When I try to Retrieve Database, or connect, I get the error message:
Status : Failure -Test failed: I/O Error: DB server closed connection.
The SQL Server DBA tells me her error logs contain the following error message:
Encryption is required to connect to this server but the client library does not support encryption; the connection has been closed. Please upgrade your client library. [CLIENT: (my computer's IP address)] Error: 17835, Severity: 20, State: 1.
When I look at SQL Server documentation about this error message, it talks about certificates and SQL Server Connection Manager. Some relevant information to show that I've covered the basics:
Using the same connection parameters, I am able to connect to the SQL Server database using Toad for SQL Server.
Using the same connection parameters, a DBA set up an Oracle Transparent Gateway, and I can connect to the SQL Server database using the gateway and a database link. (As far as I know, neither of these methods required a certificate to connect.)
Both of these use ODBC; SQL Developer uses jdbc with TCP/IP.
The DBA assures me TCP/IP connection is turned on for the SQL Server databases.
I have gone into the XML file where SQL Developer stores the connection string. It has the form jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://sql-xxx-xxx.mw.nos.xxx.com:1433/my_db, which looks correct. I have tweaked it by adding the instance name, but no difference. The database has a default instance name, anyway, so it shouldn't be necessary.
A co-worker has been able to connect to a local SQL Server database on the same machine where SQL Developer was running (both on his laptop).
As a workaround, I am also pursuing the possibility of installing SQL Server on a local workstation, and copying the databases there for processing, but I don't know if I can get approval. If you know another tool for migrating from SQL Server to Oracle, please also let me know.
Thanks in advance.

How to fix Linked Server from SQL Server 2016 to Oracle 12c?

I set up a few weeks ago a linked server in my sql server 2016 to my oracle 12c following this guide. It was working properly, but after some windows updates that restarted my machine, it no longer works. I can log into oracle properly through sqlplus and sql developer, but not through sql server. I get the following error:
OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "LINKED_ORACLE" returned message "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "LINKED_ORACLE".
I restarted the SQL Server service, as well as restarted windows again, but still same error. What could have changed in a single restart? How can I fix it and get the linked server working again?
For some reason, SQL SERVER was properly reading the tnsnames.ora file before the restart, but after the restart it stopped. I had to recreate the linked server, and put the whole connection string in the Data Source field for it to work again.
Sample Data Source found here:
Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(CID=GTU_APP)(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= server01.mydomain.com)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=OracleDB)(SERVER=DEDICATED)));

How to connect to SQL Server 2014 installed on one PC from a 2nd PC without Windows server and domain involved?

I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 on which I have installed SQL Server 2014 for my database and use Microsoft Access 2016 to manage the data in a user-friendly way.
Everything worked perfectly fine till I tried to connect to the database from another PC on the same network, also with Windows 7.
I am able to connect to the database from the second PC using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and SQL Server Native Client 11.0, logging in as sa using SQL Server authentication.
However, when I open the Microsoft Access database file from the second PC, a window pops up, saying that:
See this image.
And when I press OK a second window pops:
See this image.
I have configured the database to use a specific TCP/IP = 1433
Also made new inbound rules in windows firewall for all SQL Server services.
Please note that there is no domain involved here. I don't have a Windows server and the SQL Server is installed on PC #1.
If you require more information, please tell me, I'll be happy to provide
Hope someone will be able to help!

Link Server between 2 servers doesn't work but works on all other servers

A little background on what has been going on. I have been in the process of upgrading our sql server from 2008 R2 to 2012. The way I have been doing this is by taking the server to upgrade, lets call it Server A. Then taking a server a new server, lets call it Server C.
Moving all databases from Server A to Server C.
Renaming Server C to Server A and Server A to Server C.
Completely blowing away the Server C (old Server A).
Installing windows 2012, and SQL Server 2012 on Server.
Rename both servers to their original name.
The network team actually installed Windows server, got it on the network, etc. I only installed SQL Server 2012. I have done this with 8 servers and have had no problems from them so far. Both servers are running SQL Server 11.0.3373 windows version 6.2 build(9200). I also am sysadmin on all sql servers, but not a domain admin.
The issue
I am trying to create a link server from Server A to Server B. I can create the link server without an error, but i get an error when i use it in a query.
More relevant information
The firewall is turned off on Server B on all these tests.
I am able to ping Server A from Server B and vice versa.
I did a tracert and it comes up with the correct server and ip address( from both servers)
When I create the link server with *Other data source*
“Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server” or “SQL Server native Client 11.0”
I am able to query the master database when I query a user created database I get this error:
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "SERVER_B" does not contain the table ""UserDB"."dbo"."Table1"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
SSMS
When I RDP into the Server A, run SSMS, try to connect to Server B I get this error:
"A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server (Provider TCP Provider, error: 0- The specified network name is no longer available.) (Microsoft SQL Server Error: 64)"
RDP
When I try to RDP into Server B from Server A. I get an error that says "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. I also had a domain admin try and gets the same error.
Server B to A errors
I tried going the other way with it.
I RDP into Server B. In SSMS I try to connect to Server A. Below is the error i get.
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The semaphore timeout period has expired.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Any help would be appreciated.
