Not able to configure SQL database through MCS

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

While trying to configure the SQL database by MCS test connection option is grayed out.

 

Environment

Release: DX UIM 23.4

Component: MCS

Resolution

At group level we DO NOT enable Test Connection functionality. Here is the reason.

For connection we need to use the Sql Server probe's check_connection_mcs callback. If we configure it at individual robot level it expects the sql server probe on that machine to run the mentioned callback. 

In case we are configuring at group level, it is not possible to check on which machine the Sql server probe is deployed to run the callback. This is the reason the Test Connection button is disabled while configuring at group level.
