Unknown Error: Could not connect when adding database to WebReports

(imported topic written by murtasma91)

I keep getting this error message when I attempt to add a database to our WebReports server

Unknown Error: Could not connect. Database ‘test’ has been disabled.

I enabled logging on the BigFix Web Report server here is the relevant chunk of information from the log file. As you can see it appears like the ODBC call is sucessfull you can see the language and database context change however further down you see the unknown connection error.

On the WebReport server I can test this System DSN connection just fine without issue.

Which database are you trying to add to your Web Reports?

BigFix support helped us resolve the issue, the LocalBESReporting and bfenterprise DSN system connections where not configured to select the correct default database.
