Hi Everyone,

I came across several posts related to DB connection issues in Developer Studio. I’m also facing a similar error – “too long” – when trying to log in with the same credentials provided for the dev environment. All the details seem correct, but after clicking on Test Connection, I get the “too long” error within a few seconds.
We are on the IFS 25R1 environment. Could you kindly advise on this?


Many thanks,

SOLUTION: 

  1. You must retrieve the database host's IP address. The command "Ping *******.build.ifs.cloud" can be used to retrieve this. Request that someone who is able to access the same database instance retrieve the IP address for you. 
  2. Next, create an entry for the aforementioned host and IP combination in the "hosts" file.(The location of the hosts file depends on the operating system. On Windows, the hosts file is usually located at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts)  IP *******.build.ifs.cloud
  3. Save the ‘hosts’ file
  4.  Restart the Developer Studio. After that, you'll be able to connect.

Can you please refer to the post in community :
