FactoryTalk Transaction Manager SQL Server Named Instance

Posted by Nima Heydarian on June 1, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

Can FactoryTalk Transaction Manager connect to a Microsoft SQL server named instance?

The short answer is no. A SQL Server default instance uses the computer name where a SQL Server named instance uses the computer name and instance name.

That being said there is a way around it. Simply create an alias to the named instance (in SQL) using the SQL configuration manager.

  • Go to SQL Configuration Manager
  • SQL Native Client Configuration
  • Aliases
