While creating TARGET with DATABASE option and targeting other env. database to distribute our created pkg in DEV env, having below error.

 
 
BMXAA8187E - Unable to connect to the database. See the associated message for more information.
[jcc][t4][2030][11211][4.32.28] A communication error occurred during operations on the connection's underlying socket, socket input stream,
or socket output stream. Error location: Reply.fill() - insufficient data (-1). Message: Insufficient data. ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=08001
Can I get any help to resolve this?
I am putting all require data of target env DB in creation of Database type Target in DEV but still having issue while test.
Thanks

That error is often when it cannot connect to the database, such as being blocked by a firewall.


While there are some benefits to database targets for migration manager, it's really not viable for most companies anymore. Because the migration manager packages are created in lower environments (IE DEV), you need to enable connectivity from non-production application systems to production database networks which are typically isolated for security purposes. Non-production systems often have more users with elevated access, and you don't want them to mistakenly make changes to a production system.
