Connecting to an SQL Server

The Job Builder software is designed to work with SQL Express and SQL Server 2005 (primarily so you can copy and paste jobs from a 2005 server to and SQL Express server)

When Job Builder starts you will be presented with a login dialog as shown below.

If you need to login to multiple servers then use the Server\New Server menu command to add a new tab and login dialog.

To login enter the SQL Server name and, if necessary, your SQL Server login name and password. Click Login and a connection attempt will be made.

If you cannot connect then:

  • Make sure the server is running
  • Check you have entered the SQL Server name correctly
  • Check your login is valid and that the server is configured to accept SQL Server logins if you are not using Windows NT authentication
  • Try increasing the Timeout value

Once a connection is made the login settings will be saved in the Server Name drop-down list so you don't have to re-type everything next time.
