iReport to DB2 connection ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=08001 - db2

I am using Jasper iReport.
When I try to connect to IBM DB2 I get an error: "Permission denied: ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=08001"
I am using the same driver to connect as Razor which I also use and there it works ok (same settings, username, password, etc).
This problem started to occur lately.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Please make sure that any firewalls and/or proxy servers in between have been configured to let your requests through. We had a similar error & it turned out to be that the firewall between our appserver & db2 did not have the required port open.

Mongosqld runs fine, but ODBC fails on test and PowerBI throws error 10060. Connector not working. Windows to two seperate RHEL Servers

The Goal
I need to get data from a MongoDB updated every 15 minutes to use to build into a PowerBI report.
The Gear
I am connected from my windows machine via ssh to an RHEL server (server a). This server is running powerbi connector (SQLD) which is connected to my MongoDB that is running on a different server (server b). I'm also running MySQL on server b. My powerBI connector is installed on server b.
Exactly where I'm at
I am using the steps listed here (and all the associated pages) and have tried everything listed short of writing a config file, as the fact that things are working on mongosqld's end makes me think I don't need it... and if I can't get it working manually, having a config file won't exactly help.
https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/current/connect/powerbi/
Using:
mongosqld --mongo-uri="mongodb://10.xxx.xxx.xx" --auth --mongo-username="ThisGuy" --mongo-password="test"
I successfully map the schema and show an active connection in the command window. I can also access my database from compass using an authorization enabled URL.
When I set up an ODBC connector I use the IP of server a, the user and password from my url, and port 3307. Nothing shows up in the dropdown, when I click 'test' I get the following message:
Connection Failed
[MongoDB][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server4 on '10.xxx.xxx.xxx' (10060)
I have also tried 3306, 27017, and 27015. Just to be safe I also added firewall rules for all traffic on these ports. I've tried this many times, including (just for the hell of it, and I'm kind of new to this stuff) the ip of server b, the ip of my machine, the credentials for MySQL, basically any combination of these things that I can think of.
In powerBI, my odbc driver shows up, and when selected in the dropdown, it asks for a username and password. I have tried both mongo credentials and MySQL. Not sure which I should be using?
regardless, I get the following error inside PowerBI:
Details: "ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.xxx.xxx.xxx' (10061)
ERROR [HY000] [MySQL][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.xxx.xxx.xxx' (10061)"
Thoughts
I don't control either server, although I have root access, being new to this tech and company I am wary of screwing anything up that a co-worker will have to fix. I read in a different SO thread that maybe I need to downgrade the version of MySQL that is running on the server and that it could fix the problem, but I don't think that it will actually help and am afraid I might screw up something else on the server if I do this:
The C Authentication plugin was developed against MySQL 5.7.18 Community Edition (64-bit), and tested with MySQL 5.7.18 Community Edition and the latest version of MongoDB Connector for BI. The plugin is not compatible with MySQL Server or Connector/ODBC driver version 8 and later.
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/219550/access-denied-when-connecting-to-mongosqld-with-mysql
Maybe the problem is that server B is listening to server a on port 3307, and that there is another unknown port (not mentioned above) that my ODBC driver must be listening to? I'm not sure how to test for this when you get a step away like this.
So that's it. I'm really stuck and would love some help, I am going to try the downgrade tomorrow if nothing else shakes loose and will keep this thread updated.
Thank you for reading

Can't connect to SQL Azure from EF, but can from SSMS

We have an Azure SQL server running which we use for our Azure Web App. The Web App can connect without a problem. We're trying to remotely update the database with the latest EF migrations via a C# console application.
However we get the following exception.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
We tried connecting from the same PC with SSMS and we got in without any problems. And yes, before anyone asks we whitelisted the IP in Azure, else we wouldn't even had access via SSMS. We also tried with and without "tcp:" in the connectionstring.
This is the connectionstring we use in the Web and Console Application:
Server=tcp:{servername}.database.windows.net;Database={dbname};user id = {userid};password = {password};MultipleActiveResultSets=True;
In SSMS we just use {servername}.database.windows.net and use the credentials.
Thanks in advance.
We haven't been able to solve this issue. We instead chose to go with ReadyRoll, which suits us fine.
Azure SQL requires secured connection. You have to add the following to your connection string:
Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;

Can't connect to postgresql server installed locally on my machine

I have installed the DSP(Dreamfactory Service Platform) locally on my Mac Book Pro using Bitnani.
I have a PostGreSQL server running locally on my Macbook, which I want to connect to using the DSP.
I am successfully able to connect to my PostGreSQL server from other applications, which essentially means that there is no problem with the setup.
However, on trying to connect the same from DSP I get the error:- "Failed to launch service "sql": CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection."
My connection string is :- "pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=Pinu"
Also, the password has been correctly entered.
The port is default as 5432. Whether or not I enter the same in the connection string, the connection always fails.
Even though I am trying to add the service as Remote SQL DB, I know that it's actually on the same local host. Not sure if that is the issue.
I also tried entering - 127.0.0.1 in place of localhost, but still I see the same issue.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated!
After talking to you via email, it looks like the root issue here is that you haven't successfully upgraded your DSP to the latest version. We are releasing DreamFactory version 1.8 on Bitnami tomorrow, so you should upgrade to the latest version.
As far as your PostgreSQL issue let's explore some options:
1) Connection strings:
a) pgsql:host=localhost;dbname=Pinu
b)
pgsql:host=localhost:5432;dbname-Pinu
c)
pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=Pinu
2) If these don't work, try substituting your localhost with
127.0.0.1 (as you've tried previously, but test this in all scenarios).
3)
pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=series1;schema=schema_name_here
Typically, Option A should work without a problem.
Give these a try if you would, and if you need some help upgrading then reach out to me again via email.
--Thanks,
Mark

Google Cloud SQL: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2013] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0

I'm desperate since my Google Cloud SQL instance went down. I could connect to it yesterday without problem but since this morning i'm unable to connect to it in any way, it produces the following error: The database server returned this error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2013] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0
This is what I did to try to fix this:
restart instance
added authorized ip-addresses in CIDR notation
reset root password
restored backup
pinged the ip-address and I get response
All these actions completed but i'm still unable to connect through:
PHP
MySQL workbench
Ubuntu MySQL command line
All without luck. What could I do to repair my Cloud SQL instance. Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm from the Cloud SQL team. We are looking into this issue, it should be resolved soon. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-cloud-sql-announce/SwomB2zuRDo. Updates will be posted on that thread (and if there's anything particularly important I'll edit this post).
The problem seems to only affect connections from outside Google Cloud. Clients connecting from App Engine and Compute Engine should work fine.
Our company has same problem.
We are unable to connect through both MySQL workbench and MySQL command line.
Our Google Appengine application has no problems to connect since its not using external IP.
there.I encountered the same problem.You need to find out your public ip address,for that type "my public ip" in Google.Now click on your Cloud SQL instance that you created,under that click on ACCESS CONTROL tab and then click on Authorization tab under that.Under Authorized network,give any name you want to the network and copy your public ip address in the network.Now save changes and try to run the command from console.It should work fine.

How does ODBC pull database connection details?

I currently have a Macro which is connecting to a sybase database using ODBC. It's making the connection by running the following:
Set conX = wrkODBC.OpenConnection("Connection1", , True, strConn)
where strConn = "ODBC;DSN=Server_Name;APP=Daily Task;DB=db_name;UID=uname;PWD=pwd;"
The problem I am having is that this connection is working for some Server_Name's but not others. When it doesn't work I get a Error "3146 - ODBC--call failed".
What I don't understand is where it is pulling the server details from. So for example, when using embarcadero rapid to connect to a sybase database, it will use the sql.ini file to pull the server connection details based on the server_name.
I have checked and all the Sybase Servers I am testing are in the sql.ini file and my env variables are pointing to the correct sybase version. I've checked ODBC and it is only picking up a SQL Server driver.
Can anyone please explain how ODBC pulls the server name connection details? I don't understand why it works for some server names, but not others (FYI, I have tested the uname and pwd is rapid to make sure it is correct).
Any information would be much appreciated.
So, the issue was that I was looking at my odbc connections under control panel. I should mention that I am on windows 7. What I had to do was update my ODBC connection details here:
C:/Windows/SYSWOW64/odbcad32.exe
--This is for 32bit!
This had some connections set up which is why I could connect to some servers but not all of them.
