Objective: Set up a connection with PostgreSQL db in PDI. I'm a noob in all this stuff, so each step forward requires long resolution time.
I'm trying to set up the connection to a PostgreSQL database in order to prepare some queries for an ETL process in PDI. But there's no way to succeed with the connection.
I've tried with PostgreSQL connection type and with Generic database connection type and the error is always related with the drivers.
The version of the PostgreSQL db I'm trying to connect is 9.5.25 and I'm working in Ubuntu 20.04 and Java 8 as demands Pentaho Data Integration.
Below the error message after failed connection:
"Connection failed. Verify all connection parameters and confirm that the appropriate driver is installed. Connection to [IP]:[Port] refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections."
I am literally in despair, don't know what I'm doing wrong. Will be very grateful with anyone who can help me.
You need to add the jdbc driver to connect to postgresql DB in the pdi-installation/lib directory, you just put the *.jar file there and restart spoon to have the library available.
That driver can be downloaded from postgresql downloads. The Community Edition of PDI only comes with a small number of jdbc drivers, for each type of database you need to connect to, you should check if the jdbc driver is available in that directory, and if it's up to date or if you need a more recent version of the driver.
This is a link for the official Pentaho documentation, looking for information in Hitachi Vantara documentation is becoming more and more difficult, they don't always clarify what steps apply only for the Enterprise Edition and are not available for the Community Edition: https://help.hitachivantara.com/Documentation/Pentaho/9.2/Setup/JDBC_Drivers_Reference

I'm fairly new to Oracle SQL developer. As I'm trying to make a new connection via TNS, I'm getting this error down below which I've been looking to solve for a while fruitlessly.
Error Message:
Statut : échec -Echec du test : no ocijdbc18 in java.library.path
Assuming MySQL is a typo (You are using port 1521, which is the default port for Oracle database, also its giving you ODBC error, so I assume its an Oracle database. Remember that you can connect SQL developer to a MySQL database, so please clarify if you want to connect to a MySQL database rather than Oracle) your problem is due to lack of Oracle Data Base Connector driver (ODBC). From this link download the latest version of Oracle Instant client and install it on your machine. Then define ORACLE_HOME to the path of Instant client installation (To the actual installation folder, the one that contains folders like bin, network and so on) and restart SQL Developer, then you should be good to go.
P.S. : as #thatjeffsmith has mentioned correctly in the comments, it's not necessary to have Oracle Client and/or ODBC (or similar) drivers in order to connect to an Oracle database. Using basic as the connection type and adding the correct connection info would suffice. This Article in Oracle Magazine has extensively talked about the different connection types.
I'm trying to setup an easily-replicable (or even manual and I do it once a month or so) process for moving data from a large Azure PostgreSQL database to a more manageable Azure SQL database for end users that are most familiar with SQL Server. I've successfully connected to the PostgreSQL database via PGAdmin, so I know all my connection string info.
I started by installing the latest ODBC driver from here.
I then used a connection string which was given to me from the Azure portal, filled in the proper database name and password, and attempted to use the following drivers:
PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(UNICODE)
PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(ANSI)
I am getting the following error with either of them:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
What step am I missing in this process? Or how best can I troubleshoot this?
After more research, I attempted to add the ODBC driver here:
And got the following error (I'm not sure why Tableau is relevant to this?):
Thank you.
We have an application on IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.x and it connects to a remote database on z/os DB2 10.x. For annual operation, DB2 shut down and restarted. After starting the database, we first get
com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException
and then we get
The database manager is not able to accept new requests, has terminated all requests in progress, or has terminated this particular request due to unexpected error conditions detected at the target system. ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=58009
The connection between WebSphere and DB2 tested by 'test Connection' in WAS datasource. Both systems are up and running but there is no correct connection between them! There was no change in DB2, WAS, and JDBC driver.
Update: The JDBC driver version is 4.15.134, connection properties is IBM WebSphere default setting and the connection is direct to DB2. Another problem later showed that while the connection still has the problem, executing the query directly on z/OS's DB2 gets the same the error. The query consist of a select with a join on two different tables, selecting on each table is ok, but the final query does not work and gets ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=58009.
Update 2
The detail of environment is: IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.45, DB2 10.1, Java version 1.6 SR16 and z/OS 1.13.
This specific query gets the error in all environments, on all application server, z/os SPUFI, database viewer, such as DBeaver.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Finally, we found the solution, ran REORG and RUNSTATS on both tables and on all their partitions, and the error vanished both on the application and SPUFI. I guess something went wrong during restart and tables corrupted. Now everything is ok.
If I got you correctly, you complain on inability of the driver to reestablish the database connections after the DB2 for Z/OS restart.
If yes, then have you tried to set the corresponding connection properties described at the following link?

This is a problem when I tried to connect Derby Database by DB2 ODBC
I started the Derby Network Server and created a database named "mydb"
but,after I did as the steps described in an article on IBM's site,I countered a problem on the server side.
Step 1->db2 catalog tcpip node MYDERBY remote localhost server 1527
Step 2->db2 catalog db mydb at node MYDERBY authentication server
Step 3->db2 connect to mydb user abc using abc
Problem:
Execution failed because of a Distributed Protocol error:DRDA_Proto_SYNTAXRM;
CODPNT arg=112e;error code value=14;Plaintext connection attempt from an SSL enabled client?
What can I do to accomplish or it is unworkable??
db2_v10.12_winx64_expc
db-derby-10.11.1.1-bin
Current versions of the Derby Network Server do not communicate with the DB2 ODBC client, as far as I know. You might look here: http://apache-database.10148.n7.nabble.com/ODBC-Driver-for-Derby-td102587.html or here: http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc-derby-driver/index.html#section=tab-1 or here: Derby Database ODBC Connection for some more ideas.
Note: I gave a relatively similar answer to a relatively similar question here: Derby Database ODBC Connection and it was deleted, so for all I know this answer may be deleted as well.
I currently have a Macro which is connecting to a sybase database using ODBC. It's making the connection by running the following:
Set conX = wrkODBC.OpenConnection("Connection1", , True, strConn)
where strConn = "ODBC;DSN=Server_Name;APP=Daily Task;DB=db_name;UID=uname;PWD=pwd;"
The problem I am having is that this connection is working for some Server_Name's but not others. When it doesn't work I get a Error "3146 - ODBC--call failed".
What I don't understand is where it is pulling the server details from. So for example, when using embarcadero rapid to connect to a sybase database, it will use the sql.ini file to pull the server connection details based on the server_name.
I have checked and all the Sybase Servers I am testing are in the sql.ini file and my env variables are pointing to the correct sybase version. I've checked ODBC and it is only picking up a SQL Server driver.
Can anyone please explain how ODBC pulls the server name connection details? I don't understand why it works for some server names, but not others (FYI, I have tested the uname and pwd is rapid to make sure it is correct).
Any information would be much appreciated.
So, the issue was that I was looking at my odbc connections under control panel. I should mention that I am on windows 7. What I had to do was update my ODBC connection details here:
C:/Windows/SYSWOW64/odbcad32.exe
--This is for 32bit!
This had some connections set up which is why I could connect to some servers but not all of them.
