This Is How You Configure A DB2 Linked Server In MS SQL 2005.
Jul 26, 2006
With Linked server you can access DB2 resources as if it is another object in your SQL Server.
You don€™t have to establish links from all nodes to the DB2 Server.
Connection from SQL server 2005 to DB2 Server is sufficient to all SQL server users to access DB2 resources.
1. Install MicroSoft OLE DB provider For DB2 in SQL server 2005.
2. configure as follows:
Start - - -> all programs - - - > MicroSoft OLE DB provider For DB2 - - - > Data Access Tool.
Right click on data sources - - -> New Data Source
In Data Source Wizard - - > Data Source plat form = DB2/MVS or any other appropriate plat form from drop down
Net work type = TCP/IP - - > Next
Address = IP address:xx.xx.xx.xx
Port Number: xxxxxxx - - -> Next
Initial Catelogue = SAMPLE
Package Collection = DB2INST1
Default schema = DB2INST1
Default Qualifier = Leave it blank - - -> NEXT
HOST CCSID = EBCDIC- U.S./Canada[37] or appropriate one
P.C Code Page = ANSI-Latin I[1252] or appropriate one
Process Binary as character = check the box - - -> NEXT
Interactive sign on - - - > select it
Provide login name and password.
Check "Allow Password saving" - - - -> NEXT
Check appropriate boxes like read only etc. - - -> NEXT
Click Connect tab - - -> make sure "Success ful" message is appearing
Example: - "Successfully connected to data source 'DB2-server'.
Server class: DB2
Server version: 8021.00.0000"
- - - -> NEXT
Provide a data source name.(Example: DB2-Server)
Check initialization string option - - - > NEXT
Review completed task list on the window and
Select "FINISH" to complete the work.
The data source which you have added just now(DB2-Server) will be appearing on the grid now.
right click on the data source name and make a note of the path where it has formed
right click on the data source name and click "Display connection string"
cut and paste this connection string on the lower window to note pad for future use.
Start MS SQL server Management studio
Add a fresh linked server in 'SQL Server - - > Server Objects - - -> Linked Server" as follows:
Click Mouse right button on linked server and select "New Linked Server"
linked server = Provide a meaning ful, fully identifiable name for Linked server(Example"DB2-Linux")
Provider = MicroSoft OLE DB provider For DB2
Product name = DB2OLEDB
Data source = IP address
Provider string = Paste the connection string pasted to note pad earlier.
Location = Leave it blank
Catalog = SAMPLE
Click on security on the left side pane
Provide an SQL Server login from the drop down
Do not select check impersonate
Provide DB2 username and password and remote user name and password.
Click OK to save.
You will find the name of liked server appearing below the object Linked Server(Example "DB2-LINUX")
Open a new query window and execute an open query
Example:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY("DB2-LINUX", 'SELECT * FROM SAMPLE.DB2INST1.EMPLOYEE')
In the Example "DB2-LINUX" is the name of the linked server
"SAMPLE.DB2INST1.EMPLOYEE" is the name of the table. Sample = name of the db
DB2INST1= name of schema to which the table belongs to
Employee = name of the table
Another Example would be
SELECT empno,FIRSTNME FROM OPENQUERY("DB2-LINUX", 'SELECT * FROM SAMPLE.DB2INST1.EMPLOYEE')
I have a SQL Server version 7.0 and want to configure IBM DB2 on OS 390 as a linked server on it . I installed DB2 clients on the SQL Server and thru DB2 Connect ,I am able to access the mainframe data using the clients . However I am having problems configuting the Mainframe server using IBM DB2 OLE DB Driver .I am not sure if we need to use Microsoft OLE DB Driver .
Hi All, I am new to SQL server 2005. I have installed SQL server 2005 which came along with the visual studio 2005 package. Now i could see the visual studio 2005 in the installed programs list. I really dont know how to configure the the installed SQL server. how to create tables and veiw. frankly speaking i could not see where is the head and tail.
To be straight forward, i havent used any database to a great extent. earlier during the starting of my career, i developed a small application using VC++, which used to interact with the DB server on a very minor scale; whenever i wanted to create a table for used to do it with sql client which was also installed in my machine.
currently i am againg devoloping a small apliccation using VC++, this time for devlopment and testing purposes, I have SQL server 2005 installed in the same machine which i am using for development. Now as i said eralier i am not even aware how to configure, how to start creating table...... :-(
all i have done is i have installed SQL server 2005 and all i could see is SQL Server 2005 listed in the installed programs list :-( some one please help me.... :-(
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.
Ive got this error... I have just installed the SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. Could anyone encounter and solve this problem.. please til me how to solve this. I google this but couldnt find a reliable solution for this..
Thanx...!

Hi there! I've been trying for several days now to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections, apparently, with no luck. I always have this error message: Microsoft SQL Native Client: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. I've followed the instructions at this link -> http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914277&SD=tech, but I have been having the same problems. I've already adjusted my firewall settings. What should I do? Please help me...
Hello there, I just deployed a new ASP.NET 2.0 website on a remote server http://www.alrazem.com/. and when i want to log on, or when any connection to the database happens!! the following error ocurs.
Server Error in '/' Application.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

I followed the instructions and changed the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections to Local and remote connections. and Applied both protocols. Then redeployed the application. but the error still ocurs. I didn't restart my machine after changing the SQL to remote. but i did the website from scratch again. and created a new connectionstring and database!!! Any help? Thanks!
Ok. Here is what I need to do: several computers on the intranet need to use a client program to access data from the server (a desktop)
Here is what is going on:
1. I am using Visual Studio 2005 c#.net 2.0 2. Sql Server Express 2005 3. I don't have IIS set up 4. The database is being shared from the c drive on the server (not sophisticated at all, but this is a one man operation!)
Questions:
1. Is IIS an absolute must to make this happen? 2. If not, a user pointed out that I can't use UNF to access the database. How do I set up the connection string to access the db on the server?
Hello. I have SQLEXPRESS 2005 installed on my laptop running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have an application that can connect to the local instance with no problem. The other day, I tried to configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 for a remote connection from my desktop. To date, I have been unable to figure out how to do this.
I have followed the instructions posted at various locations on the internet, but to no avail. While I can configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 to allow TCP/IP connections, I have been unable to restart the server.
Here is the pertinent snippet from the error log:
<time> Server A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption. <time> Server Error: 26024, Severity: 16, State: 1. 2006-08-14 21:02:27.18 Server Server failed to listen on 'any' <ipv4> 0.

I have a feeling this problem is due to the way my system is configured, not necessarily how my SQLEXPRESS 2005 is configured. My laptop and desktop are connected via a wireless router, and both machines are running Norton Anti-Virus 2006. I've added sqlserver.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to the exceptions list for the Worm protection on the laptop, i.e., the server machine. There's not a setting at the router that would prevent the server from re-starting, is there?
As you know SQL Express by deefault accepts only local connections
For a particular requirement i have to change SQL Server Surface Area Configuration to accept remote connections by dos command Anyone know this command? thanks Marco
could anyone guide me on how to allow, ceate rule for sql server 2005 remote connections to work. i already configured my sql server to allow remote connections and also my router, it is only in isa that is blocking the connections.
Hi, I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit SP1 and I have installed SQL 2005 SP2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit. My current version is 9.00.3042.00. I am trying to configure Reporting Services and I am having lots of trouble getting the Application Pools to work properly. I have followed the Microsoft Technet paper 839480 "How to Install and Configure Reporting Services on Windows Server 2008". In the "Configure Reporting Services" part, I have successfully configured everything (all arrows are green) and have the following setup:
Report Server Virtual dir: ReportServer Default Web Site Report Manager Virtual dir: Reports Defualt Web Site Windows Service Identity: ReportServer with a service acct login Web Service Identity: Report Server: ReportServer, Report Manager: DefaultAppPool (I get an error when I try to configure it to anything else: ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: An unknown error has occurred in the WMI Provider. Error Code 800708AC at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.SetWebServiceIdentity(String applicationPool)
The one thing I notice in the SQL Server configuration manager is that there is a red dot next to the SQL Reporting Services services even though the green arrow is there to show it is running.
When I look in IIS7, I see the application pools Reports and ReportServer and they are both in Integrated mode. When I try to go to http://localhost/reportserver, it gives an error. It will work if I change both application pools to classic. But then when I try to go to http://localhost/reports, I get an error:
"REQUEST IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS CONTEXT".
I have read up on IIS7 and it says that: "This error is due to a design change in the IIS7 Integrated pipeline that makes the request context unavailable in Application_Start event. When using the Classic mode (the only mode when running on previous versions of IIS), the request context used to be available, even though the Application_Start event has always been intended as a global and request-agnostic event in the application lifetime."
So, how do I configure these application pools to work using IIS7 with SQL 2005 Reporting Services on a Windows 2008 server? I have tried all kinds of different things based on what I am reading on the net and nothing is working. Anybody have any suggestions?
I am attempting to insert information from Visual Web Developer 2005 using either the Gridview or Datalist controls into a SQL Server 2005 database and get stuck when defining the custom statement.When I enter the text within the insert tab, the <next> button remains greyed out, preventing me from continuing to the next page.If I copy the same text into the select tab, then I can continue with the wizard, however this raises other problems which may or may not be related (multiple insertions of the data into the SQL Server database table - possibly due to postback functions). I would rather use insert to confirm that my second problem is not because I am using the wrong option.My question is:Should I be able to use the insert function within VWD express or is this only available within the standard/pro editions?
I am trying to configure distributed transaction and XA support using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver. I have coppied SQLJDBC_XA.dll from XA directory and placed in my sql server binn directory and trying to run the script xa_install.sql from binn directory with command as below :
But I am getting error saying : [DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. [DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
when I replaced local host with the machine name it gives error : [Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. [Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
where in I am able to test connection from Websphere using the same connection.
Please help some one ....... I am in URGENT need.... I need to enable XA suport for my application to run........
I have SQl Server 2005 installed in local computer. I am planning to create report by Report Service so a report server is needed by which I can deploy report from my local computer to that server. How to intall the report server in another computer/
Can anyone help me with a problem I have with SSRS 2005? How do I configure SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to deliver subscription e-mails to addresses external to my windows domain?
I've been having trouble configuring the Report Server e-mail delivery component to send subscription e-mails to addresses outside the domain on which the report server is hosted.
For e.g. since my local windows domain is named "smartsystems.com", I have found that the Report Manager does not have any problems sending subscription mails to "eawagu@smartsystems.com" but throws up an error whenever I include "eawagu@yahoo.com" in the recipients' list.
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area": (1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the following: Select Computer The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer. Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer O Remote computer Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option? (2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]", I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS |-| Database Engine Service I picked => Remote Connection On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only O Local and remorte connections O Using TCP/IP O Using named pipes only O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).
I've experienced the problem with creating a linked server from SQL 2005 64-bit to SQL 2000.
"The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
I have resolved this by upgrading the system stored procs on the 2000 machine by running instcat.sql, documented in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/906954/en-us . Works great.
However, I'm now experiencing the same error when linking from SQL 2005 64-bit to SQL 7. I'm concerned about applying 2000 code onto a SQL 7 machine. Any ideas on how to handle this case?
I have a linked server to Sybase using MSDASQL. I can query the tables from the linked server using SQL Management Studio (windows login). When I put the same query into a job, it failed to work. The query is simple:
SELECT * from MyLinkedSvr.RemotDB.dbo.RemoteTable
The linked server setting include the login mapping, which maps my windows login and sa to the remote sybase login.
I'm using SQL 2005 9.0.1339 on Windows2000 Pro w/ SP4. SQL Agent starts as local system in the Services panel. Shared Memory/TCPIP/Named Pipes are enabled for Server/Client Network.
i have trackit!6.5 application which works as follow: when installing it and if there is no sql server is installed then he install sql desktop and the application works fine now i want to use sql server 2005 instaed so i keep getting that error login failed for user trackit65 also i added myself so any idea ?? which schema or member ship shall i use also i got error event id 18456 with no ERROR STATE listed with it

I have a Win 2003 running SQL 2005 Workgroup on a hosted site. I have full access to all servers. I am trying to create a linked server to my old SQL 7 server on a Win 2000 server in another network. I can ping the Win 2000 server from the Win 2003 server. I can connect via VPN from the Win 2003 server to the other network firewall and create a linked server to an AS400 server at 192.168.1.50. On the internal network behind the firewall the Win 2000 server is at 192.168.2.133 and natted to 10.10.50.133 via a load balancer. I cannot ping the Win 2000 server over the VPN even if I add an entry to the hosts file.
The SQL 7 server is autostarted with agent and MSDTC autostarted under SQL/NT authority under the administrator account. I allow remote servers to connect via RPC.
I know just enough to be dangerous and have researched this to death. I need a little help with this. I keep getting "could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]" and have researched that to no end. On the SQL 2005 management studio to create a linked server I use Microsoft OLE DB provider for SQL Server and SQLNCLI. I can't determine the connection string so I leave that blank.
I am trying to set up the Linked 2005 Server to Teradata v2r5, and have got most of the way there. My problem is that using both methods (OPENQUERY and SELECT with 4-part naming string) seems to submit only the SELECT * part to Teradata with the rest of the SQL waiting until the data is all pulled back to SQL Server. This is a problem when working with big tables! It puts a huge strain on the network, and also runs me out of temp space in Teradata. Is there a way to get ALL the SQL passed to Teradata? I am looking to create a Report Model for Report Builder or Pro-Clarity. I have a dummy SQL Server 2005 database set up with views of the Teradata tables through the Linked Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have 2x sql 2005 servers at home at different machines. I'm logging on both machines by using windows authentication. How can I make a linked server between them?
I have a problem I have spent hours on already. I have found multiple posts, but not a solution to this problem. This is not a rights issue.
I have two SQL 2005 servers (I cannot upgrade to SP2 yet): ServerA - ver 9.00.2153.00 (X64) ServerB - ver 9.00.2153.00 (Intel X86)
I create a linked server on ServerB pointed to ServerA, uses 'sa' for all logins, works perfectly. I create a linked server on ServerA pointed to ServerB, uses 'sa' for all logins, FAILS.
Run on ServerA:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([ServerB], 'SELECT [field1] FROM database.dbo.tablea')
Returns:
Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ServerB" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The column "field1" (compile-time ordinal 1) of object "SELECT [field1] FROM database.dbo.tablea" was reported to have a "Incomplete schema-error logic." of 0 at compile time and 0 at run time.
Run on ServerA:
SELECT [field1] FROM [ServerB].database.dbo.tablea

Hi I have created a linked server from SQL Server 2005 (SP 1) to SQL Service 2000 (SP 4) with a sql server login that is available on both servers but with different passwords and permissions.
I am getting the following error while accessing the linked server in management studio based on the scenario given below ;
------ Error Message Starts OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "(SQL Server 2000 instance name)" returned message "Communication link failure". Msg 10054, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 0 Login failed for user 'abc'. ------ Error Message Ends
Consider login name is abc. Now this login abc has sysadmin rights on sql server 2005. The same login abc has only db_datareader rights on sql server 2000 on just one database and is not associated with any fixed server role.
I have configured the linked server using the following options; 1. I have tried impersonating login from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 . 2. I have also tried specifying remote login / password option.
Anyone having any idea, would be of great help. Regards, Salman Shehbaz.
Can I connect from a SQL Server 2005 database to a SQL Server 2000 database, without establishing a linked server connection.
I need to fire a SELECT query on a SQL Server 2000 database, but don't want to add it as a linked server. Is there any way I can do this or its not possible??
I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:

I'm trying to link SQL Server 2000 sp3 to SQL 2005 64 bit. I keep getting Error 17 sql server does not exist or access denined. I tried adding remote user mapping and chaning the linked server properties to "Be made using this security context" without any success. Any help is appreciated.
I receive the following error message when I run a distributed query against a loopback linked server in SQL Server 2005: The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has cancelled the distributed transaction.
To resolve this problem, I was told that running a distributed query against a loopback linked server is not supported in SQL Server 2005. And I am suggested to use a remote server definition (sp_addserver) instead of a linked server definition to resolve this problem. (Although this is only a temporary resolution, which will deprecate in Katmai)
However, I run into another problem when I use the remote server definition. I receive the following error message: Msg 18483, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Could not connect to server 'ServerNameSQL2005' because '' is not defined as a remote login at the server. Verify that you have specified the correct login name.

I have an Excel sheet that is dynamically updated (through DDE) and I want to import this data to a table in SQL Server 2005. Using SQL Server Management Studio to configure an Excel data source as a linked server. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306397/EN-US/)
Following the first 5 steps should let me acces the table (but I cannot view the data in SQL Server 2005). However, I could not find how to export the data into an existing table. Does anyone know how or can give a pointer to document describing how to do this?
