SQL Server 2005 usinng Bulk Loader

Post by campbellj2 »

I am trying to use the SQL Bulk Loader stage on a SQL 2005 Server with multiple instances. In SQL Server Management Studio, I need to connect with SERVER\INSTANCE. I have tried only the Server name and the Server\Instance name in the bulk loader stage, but neither works. Do I need a SQL Alias on my Datastage Server?

Welcome aboard.

One of the things we can't deal with is "it doesn't work". You need to be more specific. For example, are any warnings/errors logged? Please report these fully and accurately.

You ought not to need an alias, particularly if SQL Server is otherwise visible from your DataStage server machine.
