I've just integrated pentaho's design studio into the BI server. Does anyone know how to add mysql jdbc drivers. I need to connect in order to define the relational action process.
In my research I found:
http://wiki.bizcubed.com.au/xwiki/bin/view/Pentaho%20Tutorial/Install%20Pentaho%20Design%20Studio#Comments
which specifies selecting
JDBC Driver, Edit, Extra Class Path from Preferences but no such preference exists,
http://forums.pentaho.com/showthread.php?85148-Design-Studio-xaction-database-connection-dropdown-list-empty&highlight=add+jdbc+driver+to+design+studio
which resulted in me creating a jdbc folder in which I placed the drivers in plugins\org.pentaho.designstudio.editors.actionsequence_4.0.0.stable\lib\
but just as the author of the thread I'm stuck
http://forums.pentaho.com/showthread.php?53303-Create-a-new-datasource&highlight=add+jdbc+driver+to+design+studio
suggests that:
3. If you are using the Pentaho DesignStudio you have to copy your jdbc (JAR files) to the plugins directory (in pentaho plugin) so you can develop, deploy and run your applications. This apply also to eclipse plugin (If you have now an Eclipse).
Which resulted in me placing the jar files in the plugin directory to no avail.
http://forums.pentaho.com/showthread.php?53715-Can-t-add-new-datasource-GA-version&highlight=add+jdbc+driver+to+design+studio
talks of a directory, rdw which does not exist
Any form of assistance will be greatly appreciated.
You have to configure the datasource by adding a Relational Process Action to your .xaction in the Pentaho Design Studio wherein you can specify the JDBC Driver, Username, Password and the Database URL. But first you have to put your MySQL JAR file in your lib folder /path/to/biserver-ce/tomcat/lib
You will also have to save your *.xaction file/s in the pentaho-solutions folder /path/to/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions in order for your *.xaction files to connect to the database which you have assigned in your Relational Process Action.
I encountered the same problem and solved as follow
place mysql-connector-java-5.1.17.jar under (bi server path)\tomcat\lib\ folder
start Pentaho Admin Console (PAC) http://127.0.0.1:8099 with
user: admin
password: password
and add a connection there
use the name of the connection just created for action sequence as JNDI
The problem solved for me.

I'm just new to Nifi. I was able to install Nifi and see it in webbrowser. Now as next step i want to connect to sql server, nevertheless it seems i have to install jdbc as well and here is my issue when i look at tutorials all referencing to something called "docker" and advising to install jdbc from there. When i go into cmd and type docker cmd not recognize it. Can anyone tell me how to install it and what it is?
There is no need of docker for this use case.
All you have to do is download and install SQL server from official downloads page, if you don't have server setup.
Installation guide - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/install-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017
You also need to download jar file which has JDBC driver stuff - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017
In NiFi, you can use PutDatabaseRecord processor to insert/update/delete rows from table. This processor internally uses DBCPConnectionPool controller services to get database connections.
DBCPConnectionPool controller service requires below properties to be set.
Database connection url - jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=dbname
Driver class name -
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Driver (jar) location -
/tmp/sqlserver.jar (Example only)
PutDatabaseRecord Processor
DBCPConnectionPool controller service
I think you may want to google how to install Docker and what it is, it's already explained in many places.
I'm trying to migrate my TeamCity server to use SQL Server following the instructions at https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD10/Migrating+to+an+External+Database.
In step 3 it says
Create a temporary properties file with a custom name (for example, database.database_type.properties) for the target database using the corresponding template (TeamCity Data Directory/config/database.database_type.properties.dist).
but I can't find database.database_type.properties.dist anywhere on disk or in the installer package.
Where is database.database_type.properties.dist?
It's database.<database_type>.properties.dist where <database_type> in your case is mssql, so you should look for a file database.mssql.properties.dist.
The file is under <TeamCity data directory>/config. Path to the data directory you can see on Administration -> Global Settings page in TeamCity web interface.
I have a talend job that uses tOracleInput component with connection type of ORACLE CUSTOM. It is working well.
Now, I have a requirement to use jndi as the database connection. Any ideas how can this be achieved?
First deploy your job as a webservice. After that you should be able to alter the Use or register a shared DB Connection in tOracleConnection. There you can define your JNDI datasource.
Source: https://www.talendforge.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=50374#p50374
The answer that I went with is creating my own custom talend component. Because deploying the talend job as a separate package than the actual web application is kind of, let's say, not an ideal solution in our case.
I have copied the tOracleInput component, and using Talend's component designer, I have added a "Use JNDI" checkbox and "JNDI name" textbox on the component. And modified the javajet files to build the connection from JNDI (InitialContext) using the JNDI name if the checkbox is checked. Else, proceed as usual on tOracleInput codes.
So, whenever I exported my talend job, I would tick the "Use JNDI" checkbox but if I'm just testing within Talend Studio, I would uncheck it and filled up the database properties will be used.
Hope this helps future readers.
Thanks!

I am new to Mule and I have been struggling with a simple issue for a while now. I am trying to connect to flat files (.MDB, .DBF) located on a remote desktop through my Mule application using the generic database connector of Mule. I have tried different things here:
I am using StelsDBF and StelsMDB drivers for the JDBC connectivity. I tried connecting directly using jdbc URL - jdbc:jstels:mdb:host/path
I have also tried to access through FTP by using FileZilla server on remote desktop and using jdbc URL in my app - jdbc:jstels:dbf:ftp://user:password#host:21/path
None of these seem to be working as I am always getting Connection exceptions. If anyone has tried this before, what is the best way to go about it? Connecting a remote flat file with Mule? Your response on this will be greatly appreciated!
If you want to load the contents of the file inside a Mule flow you should use the file or FTP connector, i don't know for sure about your JDBC option.
With the File connector you can access local files (files on the server where mule is running), you could try to mount the folders as a share.
Or run an FTP server like you already tried, that should work.
There is probably an error in your syntax / connection.
Please paste the complete XML of your Mule flow so we can see what you are trying to do.
Your usecase is still not really clear to me, are you really planning to use http to trigger the DB everytime? Anyway did you try putting the file on a local path and use that path in your database url. Here is someone that says he had it working, he created a separate bean.
http://forums.mulesoft.com/questions/6422/setting_property_dynamically_on_jdbcdatasource.html
I think a local path is maybe possible and it's better to test that first.
Also take note of how to refer to a file path, look at the examples for the file connector: https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/file-transport-reference#namespace-and-syntax
If you manage to get it working and you can use the path directly in the JDBC url, you should have a look at the poll scope.
https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/poll-reference
You can use your DB connector as an inbound endpoint when wrapped in a poll scope.
I experienced the same issue when connect to Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb, *.accdb) using Mule Database Connector. After further investigation, it's solved by installing Microsoft Access Database Engine
Another issue, I couldn't pass parameter to construct a query as same as I do for other databases. e.g.: SELECT * FROM emplcopy WHERE id = #[payload.id]
To solve this issue:
I changed the Query type from Parameterized into Dynamic.
I generated the query inside Set Payload transformer (generate the query in form of String, e.g.: SELECT * FROM emplcopy WHERE id = '1').
Finally, put it into the Dynamic query area: #[payload]
I am having some problems with an Hibernate Criteria query causing a outOfIndex error at driver level, I am pretty sure the problem is at the driver as I have being debugging and everything seems ok, but to be sure and be able to report the error I need to enable traces and I am not being able to do so.
I have added ojsbc5_g.jar as a new JDBC provider and created a new data source with it, renamed the jndi of the old one so the new debug data source uses the same and tried using -Doracle.jdbc.Trace=true -Djava.util.logging.config.file=ConfigFile.properties
at the server JVM configuration (using a absolute path for the file and a relative one).
The data source and the app works but no log appears, then I found the data source custom properties so I modified the level and the filename and now the file is there but empty.
The JVM Configuration should include:
-Doracle.jdbc.Trace=true -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/jdbc/OracleLog.properties
and the mentioned properties file should include something like:
.level=SEVERE
oracle.jdbc.level=ALL
oracle.jdbc.handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
You can set the logging for following targets depending on the nature of your problem:
oracle.jdbc
oracle.jdbc.driver
oracle.jdbc.pool
oracle.jdbc.rowset
oracle.jdbc.xa
oracle.sql
