Creating the EDRSMS database

Dear All,

When i am trying to create the EDRSMS database for very first time, then i am not able to connect to my SQL server database, as shown in the following attached.

I have done the following steps.

1. Log in to Central Administration on SharePoint.
2. From the Operations tab, select EDRSMS Configuration under Data Configuration.
The EMC Documentum Repository Services for Microsoft SharePoint Configuration menu
appears.
3. Select Create EDRSMS Database.
The Create EDRSMS Database page appears.
4. For an initial deployment of EDRSMS, select the option to Create New Database.
5. Enter the SQL content server name in the Database server name field. (getting error here)

Kindly help us.

Thanks in advance.

May be you can try entering the database server name without quotes.

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for your response, I tried all the combinations(double quotes, single quotes ,without quotes etc.) but its not working.

Kindly let me know how can i connect to sql server from microsoft share point, as shown in the screen shot.

First thing you should check if you can connect to the SQLServer from the machine which hosts the MOSS Central Admistration. When we tried it was pretty straightforward, it just needs the SQL Server name nothing else.

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for ur reply.

How can i check the connection to the SQLServer from the machine which hosts the MOSS Central Admistration.

We have chosen basic, when we installed sharepoit. Did we need to install Advanced of sharepoint?
