Currently i'm using IBM Cognos Express, database from SQL Server 2008.
But error has occured when i try to retrieving database from SQL Server to IBM Cognos.
How to connect IBM Cognos Express to SQL Server 2008?
Thanks.
What version of Cognos Express (9.0, 9.5)? Here are some generic instructions in the meantime;
Start SQL Server Configuration Manager
Go to Client Protocols and enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes
Go to Protocols for SQLEXPRESS and enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes
Then double click TCP/IP to go into its properties, click IP addresses tab, scroll to bottom for IPAll group
Make TCP dynamic ports setting to be blank
Make TCP port to be 1433
Restart SQLExpress service
In Cognos configuration you can then select SQL Server and COMPUTERNAME\SQLEXPRESS for database settings

I have installed Tableau Desktop 9.3 on my Machine. When I try connecting to Microsoft SQL Server as per this tutorial, I don't see any to a server or to a file option.
It just shows as below
How can I connect to server or file using tableau?
You will see a option called To a Server option below where you will find sql server connection.
Actually i try to make the crystal report of my database table values, so far i reached the primary stage of SQL connection. whenever i choose the new connection it seems to produce some errors like,
A network-related or instance0specific error occured while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The serve was not found or was not accessive. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to all allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
can anyone pls guide me to generate the crystal report.
Thank you,

From the error message you seem want to connect over Named Pipes. Check in SQL Server Configuration Manager if you have enabled Named Pipes
Also you can use PortQueryUI [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24009] to see if your SQL Server is from your location accesible and if it listens on Named Pipes.
Alternatively you could try to connect over TCP/IP port 1433. Also check in SQL COnfiguration Manager if you have TCP/IP enabled and check in PortQueryUI if SQL Servers TCP ports are open.
To All,
I did search before I posted my question, but couldn't find anything similar.
Here is my problem:
This is not a connection string for an application. It is the problem I tired to use the
SQL Server Management Studio.
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 that runs on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have tried to access the SQL Server from a Windows 7 client. It just couldn't connect using SQL Server Management Studio. I DON'T USE THE DEFAULT INSTANCE, SO THE PORT 1433 IS NOT USED. I OPENED THE PORT 12345 FOR SQL.
BUT I HAVE NO ANY PROBLEMS TO CONNECT USING sqlcmd utility FROM THE SAME CLIENT.
What am I missing????
Appreciated for all your helps.
I imagine that you will need to include the port number as part of your connection string. by default it will try and connect via 1433, but as use have stated that has been changed. add ,12345 to the end of your datasource=server so you end up with smething like this
datasource=servername,12345; ...etc
I have installed SharePoint 2013 on port 1433 for my SQL Server2008 r2. and now I want to install another application on the same server. and for the second application I need to use MS SQL server . so inside the installation wizard I define the server name , login user name and password. and when I specified the port number for my sql server 2008 r2 which is 1433; the following message appears "the same port number is already occupied by another application , do you want to proceed?"
so it is right to install two applications on the same sql server port? or I need o define a new port number?
I want to connect to a remote SQL Server 2008 R2 instance installed on a remote Windows Web Server 2008, using SQL Server Management Studio Express. Can someone provide me all the necessary steps? I read some answers here, but nothing seems to work. I'm confused as to where (locally or remotely) to enable the SQL Browser, set TCP/IP ON, specify port 1499 etc.
enable SQLBrowser
open 1433 default port (in your case it may be different but 1433 is default)
enable SQL Server authentication for your instance
restart your SQL Server instance
Make sure your domain (sql server instance) is publicly/remotely accessible
From SSMS enter your SQL Server instance url/IP address
enter your credentials
this should be all.
