If necessary, review Microsoft SQL Server documentation.

Sage MyAssistant uses a Microsoft SQL Server database called Notification to store Task and Notification information. This database is installed on a server and can be accessed by any number of workstations.

Possible causes of SQL connectivity issues

  • The Microsoft SQL Server Service is not running on the server. (see Error: "MyAssistant failed to connect to the database" below)
  • Windows User Account Control(UAC) is enabled. (see Disable Windows User Account Control below)
  • A Firewall or Anti-Virus program is blocking access to the SQL Server database.
    Note: The default TCP/IP port that Sage MyAssistant communicates with the SQL Server is TCP/IP port 45812.
  • The current Windows user does not have administrative privileges.
  • An incorrect Server Name is entered.
    Note: The Server Name is the name of the computer where the MyAssistant resides.
  • An incorrect SQL Server User name or Password is entered.
    Note: Sage MyAssistant will attempt to create a username MyAssistant and an algorithmic password generated by the system that is also used on the workstation. If you change/create the SQL user during the server configuration then this is the username and password that must be used during the workstation configuration.
  • An incorrect Instance name is entered.
    Note: The default instance name that is installed with Sage MyAssistant is ISD.
  • The TCP/IP port entered is not the same port that SQL Server instance is listening for.
    Note: The default TCP/IP port that Sage MyAssistant communicates with the SQL Server is TCP/IP port 45812.
  • The SQL Server instance is not in mixed mode.
  • The TCP/IP protocol is not enabled or is not using a fixed port.
  • The Shared Memory protocol is not enabled for the SQL Server instance.

Tools to use

  • Can you connect to the instance using SQL Server Management Studio?
    Note: You can download this 3rd party product from the Microsoft Download Center.
  • Can you connect to the SQL Server instance from a command line?
