Resolution

In SSMS, default database of user's login must be changed.

  1. Connect to SSMS using the servername, servername will be found in site report

  2. Expand the Security Folder

  3. Expand the Logins Folder

  4. Find the username from the list of all logins

  5. Right Click on the username and click on Properties

  6. Click General Tab on the left

  7.  Under default database drop down menu, select MUNIS production database from the list

  8. Click OK


Reconfigure the ODBC connection using the same server name and now the train/test/live/prod databases should be available.
