Pentaho biserver using sql server DB installation


I'm new in this field, please kindly help me. I'm installing pentaho biserver for community in my notebook. At first, it's succeed (with default configuration) like this. but, when I'm trying to change the database with ms sql server like this tutorial,

help.pentaho.com/Documentation/5.4/0F0/0K0/040/0D0

an error occurs: an error occurs

Can anybody tell me what's wrong with the installation?

I'm using:

  • Sql server developer edition 2014
  • pentaho biserver community 4.8.0
  • apache-tomcat-8.5.3
  • jdk8
  • sql server driver sqljdbc42.jar and I put it under \biserver-ce\tomcat\lib

I also try something like Using Pentaho Community Edition with SQL Server 2005 but still not working.


Solution

  • switch to default configuration. no need to do anything. while creating Datasource connection Pentaho provides option for connecting to different RDBMS database.You just need to place JDBC connector file into lib directory.
