How to Discover Microsoft SQL Server Database Application

This task describes how to discover the Microsoft SQL Server database application.

This task includes the following steps:

Prerequisite - Set up protocol credentials
Microsoft SQL Server uses the Generic DB Protocol (SQL). This protocol for Microsoft SQL Server contains:
- Microsoft SQL Server protocol; the database login and password used for authentication.
- Microsoft SQL Server NTLM protocol; the OS login and password used for authentication.
- Microsoft SQL Server NTLMv2 protocol; version 2 of the protocol with the OS login and password used for authentication.
For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
Prerequisite - Verify the user on the Microsoft SQL Server

Verify the user name, password, and port used by Microsoft SQL Server.
Run the discovery
In the Universal Discovery window, activate the jobs in the following order:
- Databases TCP Ports
- MSSQL Server Connection by SQL
- MSSQL Topology by SQL
For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the HPE Universal CMDB Data Flow Management Guide.
