How to connect to a SQL Anywhere database running in the cloud?

A new customer is running our database server in the cloud on a MS Azure machine. I tried to connect to the database from another MS Azure machine using ODBC using the following settings in the ODBC driver

  • Connect to a running database in a cloud
  • Host: servername.cloudapp.net
  • Port: 8443
  • Database name: DCFusion

Port 8443 But for some reason I'm not able to connect. I even tried it from my local PC using ODBC with the same settings.

  • Are these settings correct?
  • Is there something special that needs to be setup on the database side?
  • Is there something special that needs to be done on the client side?
  • Should it be possible to ping the database from within Sybase Central?
  • Is there a way to check if everything on the server/client side is correctly setup?

TIA,

Frank

We solved the issue by using the internal ip addres of the servers to connect to each other. That way we don't need to connect using the cloud setting but we can use connecting to a database on another server.

That seems to work.

Thanks for all the input

It's amazing what the right IP address can accomplish 🙂

By "internal" I presume you mean 192.whatever, or was it some "real" but "secret" IP address different from the one you were using 51.145.157.243?

Yes, they have internal IP numbers on which both servers can conect to each other and the 51. are the public numbers
