Port used for SQL DB server

On Db server, Check which port is used to connect SQL server database. Generally/default port it is 1433

1. Click Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2017 -> Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Configuration Manager.

2. Expand SQL Server Network Configuration and then select Protocols for <instance name> on the left panel. To identify the TCP/IP Port used by the SQL Server Instance.

Check port is open

On client machine:

1. Telnet from your machine to database server using following cmd command and hit enter:

      C:UsersUserName>telnet FQDN 1433
 

 

 

 

Note: FQDN >> Fully qualified domain name of server

2. The moment you will hit enter you will get a blank cmd screen, this will confirm your DB port 1433 is open.

3. If you get message like "Connecting To FQDN...Could not open connection to the host, on port 1433: Connect failed" then it means your firewall is blocking the connection from client to DB server.

4. Please consult your inter IT team, get the port open and then perform above steps again and then follow further steps.


Setting parameter in DB config

On Client Machine:

1. Now once your port is open, then quickly go to the file location where you have copy pasted "Kryon Admin Client 64bit" folder from App server.

2. Go to folder "Kryon Admin Client 64bitConfig" and open "DBConnection.config" with notepad or notepad++
3. Locate the parameter datasource inside connection string and it will look like following:

    Data Source=FQDNSQLEXPRESS.

4. Change above parameter as follows:
    Data Source=FQDNSQLEXPRESS,1433
