6. Check the BMS System Messages or the System Log File for error messages. See also XDB_ENGINE; Connect to SysDatabase failed.

7. Try to access the database through the command line and se NETX_<workspace-name> as database name.

   Code Block
   C:\Users\username>sqlcmd -S .\NETX_SERVER_SQL -U sa -P netxnetx_123456 1> USE NETX_Workspace1 2> go Changed database context to 'NETX_Workspace1'. 1> quit C:\Users\username>

   
   
   
   

8. In case the sa login fails try to enable the sa user login

   Code Block
   C:\Users\username>sqlcmd -S .\NETX_SERVER_SQL 1> use NETX_Workspace1 2> go Changed database context to 'NETX_Workspace1'. 1> ALTER LOGIN [sa] ENABLE 2> GO 1> quit C:\Users\username>
