Accessing MS SQL Database using DBCON

[Former Member]

Hello!

I have a problem when we try to connect to MS SQL Server using DBCON.

In table DBCON I had configure the connection lika this:

MSSQL_SERVER=tcp:<server_ip> MSSQL_DBNAME=<database>

I also have the ABAP program. It is giving a return code of 4 after 'Connect to'.

I can read in SAP system log that is the "Problem in SAP BASIS" and is "No shared library found for the database".

Here is a sample of my program:

report ztest_baza .

data: dbn(128).

EXEC SQL.

SET CONNECTION 'CON'

ENDEXEC.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

write: 'connection ok'

else

write: 'connection error'.

endif.

EXEC SQL.

CONNECT TO 'CON'

ENDEXEC.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

write: 'connection ok'

else

write: 'connection error'.

endif.

Can somebody help me??

So, you mean that it imposible to cnfigure that connection between MSSQL and SAP if SAP is on Unix platform??

There is no solution for that problem??

Hi grzegorz,

1. If your sap application server is unix/aix

(and not a microsoft OS),

2. then this kind of secondary databse connection,

to MS SQL (which is microsoft system),

is at present not possible.

(BCOS the required system files, for such

cross - platform connection is not delivery by sap)

regards,

amit m.
