Qlik Replicate

[chowsp]

I Installed Qlikreplicate and tried to set up the snowflake target endpoint, But I am getting below error when I test connection.

"

• SYS-E-HTTPFAIL, Cannot connect to Cloud server.
• SYS,GENERAL_EXCEPTION,Cannot connect to Cloud server,RetCode: SQL_ERROR SqlState: IM002 NativeError: 0 Message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"

Note: I installed the ODBC driver for the snowflake and successfully added and tested the DSN via the OBDC data source administrator.

Hello @chowsp ,

Hope you are using the correct ODBC driver for Replicate version which you have installed.

Please ensure the prerequisites are met for snowflake, The above errors will occur when environment missing correct Snowflake ODBC driver.

Hello @chowsp ,

We are assuming you running Replicate on Windows, so besides @SachinB suggestion, please make sure:

1- if you installed the ODBC driver after Replicate installation, then please restart the Replicate services (via Windows Service Management) and try again ;

2- please make sure you download and install the 64-bit. Replicate cannot work with 32-bit driver.

     Go to Snowflake download page https://developers.snowflake.com/odbc/  and use the 64-bit one:

3- Add the ODBC installation folder  (default "C:\Program Files\Snowflake ODBC Driver\Bin") to system variable PATH, then restart Replicate services again (but personally I do not think it's necessary).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

John.

@SachinB @john_wang  Thanks for the feedback. The 64-bit driver was the culprit. Once I installed 64 Bit I am able to connect successfully.
