I see, you're using the PTC-hosted trial. In that case you're out of luck.

But there is also a 90 days trial with local installation available which you could use.

Have you dropped the JDBC jar file into <TOMCAT_HOME>/lib and restarted Tomcat?

Check section "Configuring ThingWorx for MSSQL" in TWX Help of your version.

Thanks for the Reply @Rocko !

However, I am using PTC's 30 days trial version of TWX to connect to SQL server. Is there any default settings for that or it is not possible unless I install TWX locally.

 

Thanks!
