Connecting to Netezza - Open SQL Connection

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MCubedMama 64
I am using the 'Open Sql connection' Action in PAD to connect to Netezza. When I initially set up the connection and Test the connection, I received a 'Test connection succeeded.' message. However, when I attempt to run the Open Sql Connection I get an error message saying, 'Can't connect to data source ERROR [08001] Invalid - user name' . Any advice on how I can use PAD to connect to Netezza successfully?

    Hi @Mcubedmama,
     
    Please try these below 2 methods.
     
    1. Verify Credentials Used in PAD
    • Ensure the username and password provided in the connection string exactly match the credentials you tested successfully.
    • If you’re using Windows Authentication, try using SQL Authentication instead.
    2. Use a Fully Qualified Connection String
    • Instead of relying on PAD's GUI-based connection setup, manually define the connection string in the Open SQL Connection action.
    Try the following format:
    Driver={NetezzaSQL};Server=<your_server>;Database=<your_database>;UID=<your_username>;PWD=<your_password>;
     
     
    (Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)
     
    Thanks & Regards

    I took your advice and manually defined the connection string, and I was able to successfully run the Open SQL Connection without error. 
    However, when I attempt to run the Execute SQL Statement action, I receive the following error message below. Any advice on how to address this?
     
    Can't Connect to data source ERROR[28000] LDAP authentication failed for user XXXXX
    ERROR [28000] LDAP authentication failed for user XXXX
    Location: Subflow: Run SQL Query, Line: 45, Action name: Execute SQL statement
