    VishKini ,

     

    ok - first thing - I always have trouble connecting to SQLServer - whats the connection type you're using?  SQL? Mixed mode?  Windows Auth?  

     

    what driver - JNDI or JDBC?

     

    Try the SQL mode option - I couldnt connect with anything else when I last tried this.

     

    the exception indicates you are trying to connect to a SQLServer instance local to the machine that ReadyAPI! is running is - is that correct?  (due to 127.0.0.1) if thats the case - change authentication to SQL only - that works everytime as far as I can tell

     

    otherwise we're going to need your full logging (both ReadyAPI! and SQLServer) to try and sort this out  - but "connection refused" typically means a problem with your authentication/authorisation

Thank you for your reply. 

 

I am using Windows Auth (JDBC driver). I have tried sql and win authentication,but none works. 

 

The SQL server is hosted on a different machine and the server auth is set to SQL and Windows auth .

 

I know what mistake i did. In the Host name i didnt give the sql server name and was trying with localhost (which was wrong). Gave the sql server name and re-tried, but i get the below error. I have RWE access
