Requirements

The following list includes prerequisites for successfully installing and using the RdbmsNetwork:

NiagaraAX license feature for the appropriate Rdbms database
Each database type requires a specific license feature entry in the license file.
IP Network connection to the database host
You have to be able to connect to the database over an IP connection.
User Name and Password for database login
You must be able to login to the database in order to establish a valid connection.
Appropriate rights for required data access
You must have appropriate rights for access to the desired tables and for any actions that you plan on performing with the data.

In addition, there may be specific database-related items that you need to know. For example, if you are trying to connect to a "named instance" of a database, you may need to know the name of the database instance. Also, if the database is using a non-default TCP port number, you need to know the port number so you can configure your RdbmsNetwork database device correctly.

Suggestions for solving problems in making a valid connection to a remote database are included in Common Rdbms Connection Problems.
