DBCON - Error connection to external database

[joo_migueldimas]

Hello gurus,

We are currently migrating from a Windows/SQL Server platform to a Linux/Oracle platform.

In our processes we currently use external database connections (DBCON) to access MSSQL databases through native SQL.

This is working well in the windows application server. But in the Linux application server, when connecting to the MSSQL database we get the following error:

create_con (con_name=SINC_EFT_DV) [dbcon.c#2695]
Loading DB library '/usr/sap/D01/SYS/exe/run/dbmssslib.so' ... [dbcon.c#4902]
Couldn´t load library '/usr/sap/D01/SYS/exe/run/dbmssslib.so' [dbcon.c#4905]
***LOG BYG=> could not load library for database connection SINC_EFT_D [dbds#1047]

Is this file dbmssslib.so available?

How can we solve this problem?

Best regards,

João Dimas - Portugal

you posted the same question in another forum at <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/dbcon-error-connection-to-external-database-3825815" target="_newWindow">http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/dbcon-error-connection-to-external-database-3825815</a>

Why is this locked here in SDN? because we have no control of moderation in other forums.

since you are migrating to linux. So dbconnect method will no longer work. You need to use udconnect method to connect to mssql.

Thanks
