Description

When running automation script, the following error is found in the automation log.

Connection description = connection_string
Connection description was not found in Connection Manager
Connection failed
Job_Name - Connection failed

The connection works fine in Toad outside of the automation script.
Cause

The connection that is attempting to be made is no good for that instance of Toad Data Point.
Resolution

1) Open the automation script in Toad Data Point.
2) Select the job in the automation that the connection is failing on.
3) On the 'Activity Input' tab there is a field to specify the connection that should be used for that job. Click on the elipsis (...) button for that field and select the correct connection.
4) Save the automation script.
5) Run script again to test.
