Hi @srikamal, could you try using isql to test connectivity to the DremioSIT instance?

in case anyone comes across this thread in the future, the DSN config in odbc.ini had brackets around hostname and port. removing these brackets allowed SAS to successfully connect to dremio

It would be great to add to the Dremio Docs some links or references that relate to setting up ODBC drivers on different platforms like Linux ODBC. We are working through similar issues with Tableau Server while working around Tableau having upgraded to Java 11.

@datocrats-org

Is your client JDK 11 and you are unable to connect to Dremio server on JDK 8?
