Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. . (IES 10901) (WIS 10901)

Hi All,

I have created a universe with OLE DB drivers. I could see the LOVs for objects created but when I create a WEBI report based off the same universe, I am getting below error. From Rich Client I am able to create a report however after I publish it with OPEN ON REFRESH it throws the error.

Database error: [Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0] : Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. . (IES 10901) (WIS 10901)

As it is working from client machine but not from BI LaunchPad, I think it is referring to something that resides on client machine and not on server.

Environment:

BI 4.0 SP06

SQL server 2008.

Client tools on same patch level.

Regards,

Tejas
