Hi Elliot,

Please write full information about your concern so a person get to know what issue you are facing, There are n number of database ,n number of ways to connect so writing one line is not enough.

Hi Elliot,

Are you trying to connect to a website? Like Qlik Webconnectors? Or a different API? Or to a Lib(rary)?

I had this error a few times and I learned that you have to dissable the standard mode in the engine.

When it is already not checked, try to check it, Apply, restart engine, Uncheck, Apply, restart Engine.

My data connections work fine after that,

Kind Regards,

Isabelle

Hi Guys, Sorry didn't provide much info.

We found the cause that Jethro DB was the issue. We are upgrading Jethro DB

Hi Rohit,

Go to the QMC, Click on Engines, Click on the engine you want to disable the standard mode on.

Go to advanced and uncheck Standard Mode. Apply!

This way you can use links directly in your load script, instead of lib connecties for everything.

Kind Regards,

Isabelle
