Data Quality Services is a very important concept of SQL Server. I have recently started to explore the same and I am really learning some good concepts. Here are two very important blog posts which one should go over before continuing this blog post about Data Quality Services.
SQL SERVER – DQS Error – Cannot connect to server – A .NET Framework error occurred during execution
Earlier I wrote a blog post about how to install DQS in SQL Server 2012. Today I decided to write a second part of this series where I explain how to use DQS, however, as soon as I started the DQS client, I encountered an error that will not let me pass through and connect with DQS client. It was a bit strange to me as everything was functioning very well when I left it last time. The error of DQS Error was very big but here are the first few words of it.
Cannot connect to server.
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user-defined routine or aggregate “SetDataQualitySessions”:

You can select different color for a different server. Once you have different color for different server in the status bar, it will be easier for developer easily notice the server against which they are about to execute the script.
