Hi TW Gurus,

Need to know, How to connect to SQL server from a thing, I have created using base thing as database.

I was using trial version of TW.

Driver Class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

Connection String: jdbc:sqlserver://XXXXXXXX:1433;databaseName=XXXX

Privided user and password

in the log - I am getting this below error:

Unable to start thing ConnectSQlServer, JDBC Driver Class Not Found: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

am I missing anything?

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!

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.
