Portal database connection
In every portal, you will find the IxSysDb connection; this is the JDBC connection to the system database of the portal.
So that a JDBC connection works correctly, TCP/IP needs to be activated in the Microsoft SQL Server database and the dynamic ports need to be defined. Configure the Server TCP/IP accordingly if you are using a remote database server. To do that, open the Microsoft SQL Server Configuration Manager. You will find "Protocols for [name of the instance used by you]" under the point "SQL Server Network Configuration". Activate TCP/IP on the right-hand side. Then open the TCP/IP properties. On the "Protocol" tab, the following settings should be made:
Enabled: Yes
Listen All: Yes
Keep Alive: 30000
Then switch to the "IP Addresses" tab. The following settings should be made here:
Active: Yes
TCP Dynamic Ports: 0 (can also be left blank depending on the configuration)
Port used for establishing the connection (Default: 1433)
Restart the SQL Server Service and then the SQL Server Browser Service via the SQL Server Configuration Manager / SQL Server Services. Should the connection still not work with these settings, please refer to the corresponding pages from the developer.
