Winautomation SQL issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dad77

I try to connect by winautomation to my mysql server.

 

I use a DSN that is working.
Under OpenSQL connection -> Data link properties -> test connection all works fine.

 

Then when i run the process:

Runtime Error: cannot connect to datasource: ERROR [IM002][MICROSOFT][ODBC DRIVER MANAGER] Data source  name not found and no default driver specified.

 

In ODBC DSA works all fine.

I tired with

- MySQL ODBC 8.0 ANSI 64bit

- MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI 64bit

- MySQL ODBC 8.0 ANSI 32bit

-> The 32bit seems not to be visible in Winautomation so then I assume 64 should be the right choice.


No idea why it does not work.

    @dad77 What does your SQL step looks like? 

    I had troubles setting the connection string and got it to work on my end like this, not sure if you have something different on here.Screenshot_17.png
