hi, @Narukkp 

Here is a similar post, you could refer to it:

You could try to connect via ODBC.

Thank you @v-lili6-msft . I have already tried throuh ODBC connection but connection is not success and it is giving error like “Got an error reading communication packet”.

Due to security issues may be server side they are used the firewalls.
