Hi Mecki You should not need a jdbc driver, this is why I suspect you maybe using the data connector for RDBMs databases instead of U2 data connector which uses uniobjects.

I don't mind if I have to search for and download a JDBC driver from the net to connect to SQL Server, DB2 or Oracle data sources but I expect a Rocket product to work straight away for U2. I get a screen that asks me for the UD server name and even though that name one works for SB client, VSG, UniAdmin and tools like mvDeveloper it won't connect in DataVu. All I found so far is that I need this driver (hell knows where to get it from) and a file called bi.jdbc,drivers (or something like that) that needs to be created somewhere by the administrator. Hell, I am the administrator and I haven't got a clue how to do that! On 06/09/2011 23:22, David Jordan wrote: > Mecki > You do not need a JDBC driver, it uses uniobjects.
