mongodb server is installed in one server and i want to pull data from mongodb to sql through ssis but the sql and siss is installed in anothe server. i had gone through your mongodb to sql with ssis. i did not under stand weather i have to install that bi connector in mogodb server instance or another server instance where i am using sql and siss.
I had installed mongodb connector and odbc drivers in my instance where I want to store the mongodb data.
while giving credentials of mongodb. like ip and poet username and password dasebase name after

I’m trying to setup MongoDB BI Connector to use it for Tableau. I have already running mongosqld and it is connecting successfully from windows cmd to aws documentdb, but when I try to setup MongoDB ODBC Data Source it shows Connection failed [MongoDB][ODBC 1.4(w) Driver] can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘xxxxx’. The same error is when trying unicode or ansi. It is also not working connecting directly from Tableau Desktop using MongoDB BI Connector. Same error message. I'm using port 3307. Perhaps anyone has had the same issue and can advise how to solve it?
I have this mongoDB (a SaSS in IBM Cloud) and on this cloud i also have an instance of another noSQL DB, cloudant db.
We were able to connect the cloudant DB on Power BI using only an URL such as "https://8869f932-05f0-4f48-b697-XXXXXXXXXXXX-bluemix.cloudantnosqldb.appdomain.cloud/<DATABASE_NAME>/_design/<DESIGN_DOC_NAME>/_view/<VIEW_NAME>" and "WEB" connection option on PowerBI.
My question is, and i didn't find any info or documentation related to this matter: on MongoDB, there is a way to achieve this kind of connection, using only a uri to a specific view rather than the ODBC connection?
If not, is there any other alternative to connect with this resource on IBM instead of ODBC?
Install mongosqld from : https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/current/installation/
Run mongosqld
Now you can connect to the mongodb instance with read access using mysql/mariadb client or drivers.
NOTE: As mentioned this only has read access, so you can execute all the select queries.
I don't think so if PowerBI doesn't support it already. The MongoDB BI Connector isn't installed in IBM Cloud Databases for MongoDB.
I need to access data in Mongo DB through Oracle DB. Can you guys help me to create a link between Mongo & Oracle?
First you need to install an MongoDB ODBC driver. You can install the ODBC driver from Mongo: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-odbc-driver
However, this ODBC driver works only for Mongo Atlas, i.e. MongoDB Cloud service, see MongoDB ODBC Driver. If you have a local MongoDB then you cannot use it. In this case you have to go for one of the commercial third party Mongo ODBC drivers:
Progress: https://www.progress.com/odbc/mongodb
CData: https://www.cdata.com/drivers/mongodb/odbc/
devart: https://www.devart.com/odbc/mongodb/
EasySoft: https://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc-mongodb-driver/index.html
Simba: https://www.simba.com/drivers/mongodb-odbc-jdbc/
Then you can use the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC for the connection.
As far as I understand the "Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC" is one of the possible Heterogeneous Service Agents of the "Database Heterogeneous Connectivity" mentioned by Justin Cave.
I want to do link mongodb servers within one query like SQL Linked server's OpenQuery concept. Is it possible in mongoDB?
SELECT
UserID,
UserName,
FirstName,
LastName
FROM OPENQUERY(remotelinkedservername, 'SELECT * FROM dbo.Users' )
You can't do Open query logic in mongoDB but you can connect mongoDB with SQL server by using MongoDB new ODBC Driver with SQL Connector 2.1.0
A linked server enables you to execute distribute queries against tables stored in a Microsoft SQL Server instance and another data store. Use the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to link your MongoDB data store to a SQL Server instance and then execute distribute queries against both data stores.
We are still in the development phase.
Our req is parse the XML to JSON and store them as flat files in Mongodb
Then for the analysis we want to use tableau.
Part 1 of the req is done...now i need to connect to tableau.
Versions we have are
Mongo 3.2
Tableau 9.1
I have googled and couldn't find any steps to integrate tableau with mongodb.
I also saw Mongodb has released a connector but there is no Windows BI connector.
Now do we need to migrate to Enterprise version for tableau connectivity.
Many thanks for the inputs
Detailed Instructions (for Windows), using localhost server of mongoDB:
1) Installation: Install Tableau, MongoDB, and MongoDB BI Connector for Tableau.
2) From the command prompt, you will want to serve your mongoDB instance as well as the mongoDB_sql server needed to connect to Tableau MongoDB BI Connector. Add mongoDB and mongoDB BI Connector bin's to your system path, for example: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\ and 2) C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Connector for BI\2.3\bin\.
3) Serve your local mongoDB server. Example command: mongod. (Let's assume it is served on localhost:27017.
4) Create a schema of the database you want Tableau to integrate with. Command to do this: mongodrdl --out <path_that_you_want_to_save_schema_to> /db:<name_of_database>
5) Validate the schema, and serve your local server of mongoDB as an SQL server (Tableau expects this server to be running). Command to do this: mongosqld --schema <path_to_schema> (** this will typically serve to localhost:3307)
6) You can now go to Tableau, under connectors, click on the MongoDB BI Connector, and enter localhost for the server, and 3307 for the port. (assuming in step 5 you have validated that the sql server is running on localhost with port 3307).
I hope this helps, these exact steps worked well for me.
The mongo biconnector is implemented as a multicorn (python) based Foreign Data Wrapper imbedded in the supplied postgresql server. Tools are provided to set up the postgresql "biuser" user, to create the collection to table mappings from data sampling, and to import the resultant schema into postgresql. The postgresql database contains non-materialized views corresponding to the (flattened) mongo collections. Access is through the postgresql server using standard postgresql jdbc/odbc drivers.
I think run mongodb bi connector in docker ubuntu/centos is a choice if the connector does not support windows, and tableau does not support linux, that's a question.
There is an example of create bi connection in www.mongodb.com/tableau with mongosqld
Hope this would work well for your issue
I have described our way connecting to data in MongoDB Community Edition to Tableau. First creat an API to your DB, then Web Data Connector to Tableau (it's HTML and JS files), after you can use WDC Connector in Tableau to connect to your URL.
Here is the detailed description how we did it: https://medium.com/#katya.neulinger/tableau-web-data-connector-to-mongodb-c1477d7d5ac9
