i have installed Jasper Server on my local. I need to generate a report which will extract data from Informix DB. Therefore a JDBC for it is needed (duh). I found the JDBC file for informix called ifxjdbc.jar and i copy it to "/apache-tomcat/lib". Restarted the server. Then when i want to create a new data source, the dropdown list doesn't show my JDBC driver that i just added.
I even tried copying the JDBC file to "/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver-pro/lib" then restart the server but still no luck
You should install JDBC driver which is available on IBM pages. It contains more jar files than just only ifxjdbc.jar. In my environment I copied: ifxjdbc.jar, ifxjdbcx.jar, ifxlang.jar, ifxlsupp.jar, ifxsqlj.jar and ifxtools.jar.
I think that you should run simple Java/Jython program that tries to connect to your database. If it will work then you are sure you have complete environment.

I have installed Alflytics V 5.0 on the Pentaho Server.
When I am made changes in the Configuration tab and trying to save, it shows that "configuration not saved".
My issue is that I am unable to make changes in configuration and extract the data in Alflytics.
So I want to know the file in which we can change the database connection setting for Pentaho server and the PostgreSQL.
I have installed Penthao server on Windows 10 platform.
Thanks and Regards.
If we need to perform queries in pentaho data integration (IDE), we need to add manually the datasource in simple-jdin/jdbc.properties
MyDatabase/type=javax.sql.DataSource
MyDatabase/driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
MyDatabase/url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/sampledata
MyDatabase/user=pentaho_admin
MyDatabase/password=password
This works as expected in the ide known as pentaho data integration, spoon or kettle.
But, the same in pentaho server 8.2 does not works.
Steps to reproduce the error
deploy or upload the transformation(.ktr) in the pentaho-server 8.2
add manually the datasource in the server /../pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/simple-jndi/jdbc.properties
executed the transformation using pentaho server web console : run in background or schedule options
error: datasource not found
Alternative
Create the datasource manually using web console of pentaho server instead of manually modification of file : /../pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/simple-jndi/jdbc.properties
Question
simple-jndi/jdbc.properties works in server or is just for development purposes (pdi)?
are the settings available in jdbc.properties file on server can you verify the same by referring to the pentaho data integrator > simple-jndi folder.
also are you able to connect to the database from the server may be using a database client to confirm.
NOTE:whenever you work with databases make sure you relevant library files to connect to the respective database.
From my personal experience, I was not able to make the server pick JNDI connection definitions from the simple-jndi/jdbc.properties file when the Pentaho Server was running with Tomcat.
I was only able to use JNDI on the Pentaho Server by defining JNDI Datasources in the Tomcat configuration files.
I am installing pentaho 8.1 CE on ubuntu 16.04
have made change of bd from HSQLDB to Mysql, tables have been created, jackrabbit, hibernate and hibernate.
When starting the server, not login, I imagine that the users are missing or not created. ??
the error that throws me in
catalina.out

any idea?
When changing the back-end database, there's a few things you need to make sure you check.
repository.xml
quartz.properties
hibernate-settings.xml
[your-database].hibernate.cfg.xml
context.xml (in WEB-INF)
You'll need to confirm the settings for the connection to the new database has been properly configured in all of these different config files. Some additional details on how to config these files for MySQL specifically can be found in the documentation here: https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/8.1/Setup/Installation/Archive/MySQL_Repository
Past that, make sure that you delete the "repository" directory inside of /pentaho-solutions/system/jackrabbit as this is an index of the repository. If you change your database back-end, then this index needs to be rebuilt. The index is rebuilt automatically if the server sees that "repository" directory doesn't exist at startup.
I've found the same issue on Windows Server 2016 and MySQL8.0, with Pentaho 8.0.2.
Starting Pentaho server from the start-pentaho.bat command, everything was fine.
The problem arise when I was using Tomcat.
The solution was to be sure that Tomcat service was running with the LOCAL SYSTEM account.
If the Tomcat service runs with lower privileges, maybe it can't access to the pentaho-solutions directory and it cannot load the required java beans.
if everything as per the document is configured correctly, then You might be missing the connection change in applicationContext-spring-security-hibernate.properties, please check that.
I upgraded to worklight 6.0. I added both derby_core_plugin_10_8_2, derby_iu_doc_plugin_1.1.3, into eclipse-->plugins I restarted Eclipse and right click my project to add Apache Derby nature...nothing seems to happened, then I tried to go directly to server/java-->apache derby--> run SQL Script using "ij"...I get (the selected project does not have Apache derby nature please add it and try again)
Your question needs more clarity...It is unclear what you are actually trying to accomplish.
If you're trying to get worklight to run using a Derby database, then you have to modify your worklight.properties file with the following
wl.db.url=jdbc:derby:${worklight.home}/derby/WorklightDB;create=true
wl.db.username=dbusername
wl.db.password=dbpassword
If you're trying to call an SQL adapter to connect to a Derby database, then you'll need to post more information in order for us to see what it is that isn't actually working.
I have tried to follow the instructions in chapter 1 of the HSQLDB doc and started my server like:
java -cp hsqldb-2.2.5/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.Server -database.0 file:#pathtodb# -dbname.0 xdb
and I have reason to believe that worked cause it said (among other things):
Database [index=0, id=0, db=file:#pathtodb#, alias=xdb] opened sucessfully in 2463 ms.
However at the next step I try to connect using SqlTool and based on chapter 8 of the documentation I came up with this command to connect:
java -jar hsqldb-2.2.5/hsqldb/lib/sqltool.jar localhost-sa
Which gives the following error:
Failed to get a connection to 'jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost' as user "SA".
Cause: General error: database alias does not exist
while the server says:
[Server#60072ffb]: [Thread[HSQLDB Connection #4ceafb71,5,HSQLDB Connections #60072ffb]]: database alias= does not exist
I am at a loss. Should I specify alias when connecting somehow? What alias would my database have then? The server did not say anything about that...
(also, yes I have copied the sqltool.rc file to my home folder.
Your server has -dbname.0 xdb as the database alias. Therefore the connection URL should include xdb. For example jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/xdb
The server can serve several databases with different aliases. The URL without alias corresponds to a server command line that does not include the alias setting.
java -jar /hsqldb-2.3.2/hsqldb/lib/sqltool.jar --inlineRc=url=jdbc:hsqldb:localhost:3333/runtime,user=sa
Enter password for sa: as2dbadmin
SqlTool v. 5337.
JDBC Connection established to a HSQL Database Engine v. 2.3.2 database
This error has been hunting me for the last 5 hours.
Together with this stupid error: HSQL Driver not working?
If you want to run your hsqldb on your servlet with Apache Tomcat it is necessary that you CLOSE the runManagerSwing.bat. I know it sounds trivial but even if you create the desired database and you run Eclipse J22 Servlet with Tomcat afterwards, you will get a bunch of errors. So runManagerSwing.bat must be closed.
See my sqltool answer over on the question "How to see all the tables in an HSQLDB database". The critical piece is setting up your sqltool.rc correctly and putting it in the right location.
You can also use the following statement for getting a connection from a files based store. this can be used if you are running the application from Windows.
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:file:///c:/hsqldb/mydb", "SA", "");
