I have been developing in Perspective with a MS SQL Server Express database (on the same laptop as the gateway) without issue. I recently updated to the Ignition platform 8.0.7 and I am also on a job site, so I’m on a new network.
When I pulled up my projects, the database connections were not connecting, with no change to the projects or the drivers. To make sure I’m not missing something before re-installing the drivers:
My understanding is that traffic between the database and the gateway should not be dependent on the network setup, since they are all local. Are there any port considerations I need to be aware of in this setup?
I also restored the gateway backup to prior to the gateway upgrade. Any chance something was changed in the upgrade that wasn’t reverted back in the restore?
Does the site use a different version of SQL Server? Your JDBC drivers from your dev environment would be part of the gateway backup, and would replace the production system’s JDBC drivers.
That’s the thing - the only drivers involved are the ones installed on my local laptop. I wouldn’t expect that my local database setup should be affected at all by the move, unless the MSSQL <-> Gateway communications actually went over the network, in which case the router could be blocking traffic on port 1434? Or put another way, can I assume that no network connection is required to run an Ignition gateway that is tied to a SQL database on the same laptop?
