Help needed to create a data connection

EN6924

Hi Experts,

 

We received below request from a user to create Gallery Data Connection -

 

ODBC connection r/w

Name: COD_RPA_DB
Server: EUGSX-WSQL1200

 

The connection will be used by the user and his team only, which is a windows user group. They're using a service account which has access to the Database.

While creating the User DSN, user selected - 'Integrated windows authentication' as his local connection.

 

-------------------------------

We tried to create the System DSN from Server and received errors (Screenshots attached)

 

Even we tried by configuring DSN less and failed. 

 

odbc:DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};Server=EUGSX-WSQL1200;UserID=svc_alteryx_tst;Password=hKupLN9Lux13aFKVZ8dVDV#q;

 

odbc:DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};UID=SVC_ALTERYX_TST;PWD={hKupLN9Lux13aFKVZ8dVDV#q};SERVER=EUGSX-WSQL1200;Integrated Security=SSPI;

 

-----------------

 

I don't know how to properly configure System DSN or DSN less connections. Need to create the Gallery Data connection as soon as possible. Someone please help me here.

Here you can find everything related to DNS-less strings.
