You will need to put in the correct name of your SQL server in this field. Let me know if that resolves your issue.<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />Gabe Marquez<BR />Technical Support Engineer<BR />Blue Prism<BR />------------------------------<BR /> Tue, 27 Oct 2020 17:04:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Digital-Exchange/Getting-error-while-configuring-DB-New-connection/m-p/64133#M2659 gmarquez 2020-10-27T17:04:00Z
