    Alternative library available if you want to try.

    Download jtds-1.3.1.jar
    And place it under READYAPI_HOME/bin/ext directory and restart.

    Use driver class as : net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver

    Use connection string as :
    jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://${dbServer}:${port}/${dbName};domain=${domain}

    NOTE: replace the above place holder values.

Try adding sqljdbc4.jar and sqljdbc.jar files in addition to the sqljdbc42.jar that you have

Hello,

 

I've first tried adding the sqljdbc4.jar to bin\ext which gives the same result. Then also the sqljdbc.jar which results in the following error:

 

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8 is not supported by this driver. Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for JDBC 4.0.

 

documentation:

sqljdbc.jar class library requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) of version 5.0. Using sqljdbc.jar on JRE 6.0 or JRE 7.0 will throw an exception when connecting to a database.

    Sorry I use com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. So you may have other issue with MS drivers
