How to configure SQL Server named instance in IBM Websphere application server - sql-server

Can anyone help me in configuring SQL Server named instance in IBM Websphere Application server?
With Regards
Gopinathan K. Munappy

Try:
Server Name: "IPAddressServer\instanceName"
in the Common and required data source properties of Data Source Configuration, it works for me on WAS 8.0.0.3.

Please see page 24 of Accessing Databases chapter of WAS 7 Administration and Configuration Guide for Example: Connecting to an SQL Server database, which gives you step by step instructions.
You will have different options according to which JDBC driver you will use and kind of datasource you'll define (XA / nonXA). These options and respective configuration parameters are outlined in
Data source minimum required settings for Microsoft SQL Server document at infocenter.

SQL Server 2019 support in DataGrip (can't connect to an instance)

I don't seem to be able to connect to a locally installed SQL Server 2019 instance using DataGrip (2019.3).
No matter which auth I use (domain or SQL), I get the following error:
"The specified database user/password combination is rejected: [08S01] The server SQL19 is not configured to listen with TCP/IP"
URL I'm connecting to is jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\SQL19.
If instead of "SQL19" part I use SQL Server 2016 instance name, it works fine,
so I'm assuming I'm configuring the connection correctly, unless there's some tweaks I need for SQL 2019?
I can connect to a 2019 instance from SSMS and applications, it's available via TCP/IP etc.
Answering my own question with some details (#moscas answer is correct, but I feel details may still be useful for somebody).
TCP/IP seems to be disabled by default in SQL Server 2019, and SQL Configuration Manager turned out to be not easy to find: it doesn't show up when you do regular search in "Start" menu and it doesn't exist under SQL Server's folder in the menu (wtf, Microsoft?).
You need to go Computer Management (this does show up in search) -> Services and Application -> SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Network Configuration, choose your instance and enable TCP/IP.
Datagrip starts to work then.
As far as I know, SSMS does not require TCP/IP, that's why it works. For DataGrip, you need to turn it on.
Perhaps this doc will help: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/datagrip/db-tutorial-connecting-to-ms-sql-server.html
In additional to enable TCP/IP in SQL Server Configuration Manager. I also had to enable the Sql Browser service under Sql Service Service.

Is DB2 Server Discovery possible over a network?

I need to discover the running db2 servers in a network.
I tried to connect to all servers in the network using the JDBC connection. But the problem is while using JDBC, we need to specify the database name in the URL. As of now, I tried to connect to the SAMPLE database. But if a db2 instance does not have the SAMPLE database, the connection will fail.
So I want to know the other possibilities to discover db2 servers in a network and also Is there any way to connect to the instance of the db2 server unlike connecting to a particular database(Similar to SQL - Connecting to an instance using port only)
Db2 administration server (DAS) has the corresponding functionality. Refer to the following link:
Discovery of administration servers, instances, and databases.
Note, that DAS is deprecated and may be removed in future Db2 releases.

SonarQube 7.2.1 - Connect to SQL Server (Mutiple Instances)

I am working with Sonarqube 7.2.1 and SQL Server 2016 Always ON (in a different server). I am running multiple instances (SQL Server) in the same server.
So my question is this: to connect Sonarqube to the SQL Server Database I desire can I still use this connection string:
sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:sqlserver://server_hostname_or_IP;databaseName=sonar
sonar.jdbc.username=sonarqube
sonar.jdbc.password=mypassword
Or do I have to user a different one?
you need to use registered listener name (hostname) of your always on database.
You cannot fallback/switch to failover node with IP address.
Other parameters can remain same. the only thing is the sonarqube user is needed to be defined on both nodes with appropriate database permissions.
I also aggree on using integrated security, however it is your choice to have it or not.

Can't connect Analysis service in Excel

I'm trying to connect to Analysis service by Clicking on DATA > From Other Sources > From Analysis Service but then error shows up. It's telling me that I have typed wrong server name. But connect to Database engine is fine, how do I do it ? Please help, this will be very helpful.
PS. I'm using SQL Server 2012 with tools. I use the same server name with database engine.
If the server is installed locally you can try using "localhost" or just a simple dot ".". Make sure to connect to SSAS using SSMS and check in Properties > Security what are the users allowed to connect.
If you have multiple instances installed on the same machine then make sure you use the correct name with domain included: Domain\InstanceName
Another option is to check using the SQL Server Configuration Manager what are the network protocols activated.

Cannot load drivers for SQL Server on WSO2 Data Services Server

I am attempting to create a new Data Service in WSO2 Data Services Server to connect with SQL Server 2005. However, every time I test the connection I receive the error message "Driver class com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver can not be loaded".
Data Source Type: RDBMS, Non-XA-DataSource
Database Engine: Microsoft SQL Server
Driver: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
...
I don't believe my connection string or credentials are a problem as it fails on loading the driver.
What is the step that I'm missing in this process?
You have to put the Microsoft SQL driver jar inside repository/components/lib of DSS distribution in order to load the driver class.
The folder structure has changed for Enterprise Integrator v6 you will need to drop off the file into your [EI_HOME]/lib folder. Default folder is "C:\Program Files\WSO2\Enterprise Integrator\6.6.0\lib".
Depending on what version of Java you are using, you may download the corresponding version from here.
Extract the file and you drop the jar:
mssql-jdbc-7.2.2.jre8.jar - for java 1.8 class version 52
Check out this link for class versions.
