The shared SQL Server production data mart system IOWASQLDMHOST3 will be upgraded from SQL Server 2016 to SQL Server 2019. The new SQL Server 2019 system will have network connectivity restricted to ITS data centers and, on request, static IP addresses on wired campus building machines. These SQL Server databases will no longer be open to campus wireless or VPN.

Additionally, some clients may need to update their connection strings to use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the database server (e.g. IOWASQLDMHOST3.iowa.uiowa.edu). For more information about this migration, please review SQL Server 2016 Shared Data Mart Hosting Refresh FAQs or contact the SQL Server DBA team at [email protected].
