Restoring a Connection to the Enterprise Reporter Database If your server has lost its connection to the database, you can still open a console and connect to the server, but functionality will be limited. You will be unable to create discoveries, run reports or modify your configuration. Ensure that the SQL server hosting the Enterprise Reporter database is running, and that the server can access it. The Report Manager maintains a direct connection to the SQL database, so ensure that the console’s computer can also access the SQL server.
