What is the reason for this error and how to fix it?

There can be multiple reasons for this Error

Possible Reason How to Solve

Wrong DB Type selected
When defining the Server connection you are also defining the Database Type (Example MSSQL2014, MSSQL2106 or HANA). If you chose the wrong type or you have after setup upgrade SQL server you will get this error

Re-run the server component and check that the Database Type matches the real database

MSSQL Port not opened in Firewall
In order to connect to MSSQL Server DI-AP, I need to have access to it in the Firewall

 Please on the SQL server open Firewall Inbound Port 1433 (Default SQL Server Port) [Boyum cannot help with firewall related issues beyond this text]

Domain name not included in the sap username

 Please include the domain name in your SAP username if relevant. So instead of using "SapUser", use "YourDomain\SapUser"

DNS cannot resolve the server IP-address

 Check with Windows command prompt command nslookup that the server name can be resolved into an IP-address
