SQLException while getting database connection

4. I started SQLDBManager Plus, but it quits stating "SQLException while getting database connection. Check if database daemon is running"

Reason  : SQLDBManager Plus is unable to connect with the backend Microsoft SQL server configured during installation
Solution : Check and correct the SQL Server Hostname and Port present in <SQLDBManager Plus Home>\working\conf\database_params.conf file ( in database_params.conf file check the hostname and port entry in line "url jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://sqlhostname:1433/MESQLDBM AppModules" ). Also check if there is any firewall blocking the connection between the SQLDBManager Plus and SQL server.
