Issue/Introduction

After upgrade of AutoSys from R12.1 to R12.1 SP1, the AutoSys Application Server and Scheduler fail to connect to the database. The as_server and event_demon logs show the following error:

Environment

AutoSys 12.x

Cause

A change to the MSSQLDriverConnString section of the AutoSys config file is needed.

Resolution

• Backup the file %AUTOUSER%\config.<INSTANCEID>
  
  
• Edit the original file and look for MSSQLDriverConnString in that file and change it:

From:
MSSQLDriverConnString={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}

To:
MSSQLDriverConnString=DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};

• Save the file
• Restart AutoSys and verify the startup
