Database-specific information

Introduction

This page provides information on installation and configuration of certain database drivers. Note that this page is not comprehensive; Harmony supports most ODBC- and JDBC-compliant databases.

Database drivers are automatically detected from the Jitterbit agent. For cloud agents, managed by Jitterbit, a set of commonly used JDBC drivers is already provided. For private agents, installed drivers are detected from the operating system where each private agent is installed. In addition, you can install other database drivers on private agents as needed. For general information and instructions on installing additional drivers on private agents, refer to Install additional ODBC or JDBC drivers.

IBM DB2 (as400)

You can connect to DB2 on iSeries using either a JDBC or ODBC driver. Note that if you want to use additional features, such as being able to provide a manual query, these are available using the JDBC driver only. These instructions are for installing the JTOpen (AS400) JDBC driver.

Install the JDBC driver

1. Download JTOpen. The ZIP file includes the JDBC driver file jt400.jar.

2. Install the driver on a private agent by unzipping the download and then copying the jt400.jar file to <JITTERBIT_HOME>/tomcat/drivers/lib/, replacing <JITTERBIT_HOME> with the path to your private agent root directory.

3. Edit the file <JITTERBIT_HOME>/JdbcDrivers.conf and add this driver entry:

   <Driver>
   <Name>IBM DB2</Name>
   <Class>com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver</Class>
   <Subprotocol>as400</Subprotocol>
   </Driver>
   

4. All Jitterbit services must be restarted in order for the new configuration to take effect.

   On the machine where each private agent is installed, first stop the services, then restart them. See Restart a Windows private agent or Restart a Linux private agent for more information.

Configure the database connection

After the JDBC driver is installed, specify these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select JDBC.

• Driver: Select the IBM DB2 (AS400) driver.

• Use Connection String: Under Optional Settings, select this checkbox.

• Connection String: Under Optional Settings, enter a manual connection string, replacing this example with your own host, libraries, and database name (if applicable):

  Sample Connection String

  jdbc:as400://example.com;libraries=LIB1;Database=S12345;socket timeout=30000
  

WHERE clause examples

These WHERE clause examples are provided for reference purposes when configuring a Database query activity:

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'D21' AND HIREDATE > '1987-12-31'

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'C01' OR WORKDEPT = 'D11'

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'E11' AND NOT JOB = 'ANALYST'

  WHERE EDLEVEL > 12 AND
     (WORKDEPT = 'E11' OR WORKDEPT = 'E21')

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'E11' AND EDLEVEL = 12 AND JOB = 'CLERK'

  WHERE (WORKDEPT, EDLEVEL, JOB) = ('E11', 12, 'CLERK')

For additional examples, refer to the IBM Knowledge Center articles for the specific version:

• Specifying a search condition using the WHERE clause
• Multiple search conditions within a WHERE clause
• Defining complex search conditions

IBM DB2 (jcc)

You can connect to DB2 on iSeries using either a JDBC or ODBC driver. Note that if you want to use additional features, such as being able to provide a manual query, these are available using the JDBC driver only. These instructions are for installing the JCC JDBC driver.

Install the JDBC driver

1. Download JCC from IBM's DB2 JDBC Driver Versions and Downloads. The TAR.GZ file includes a ZIP file with the JDBC driver file db2jcc4.jar.

   Note

   The driver file db2jcc.jar uses the JDBC 3 specification and is deprecated. Use the driver file db2jcc4.jar, which uses the JDBC 4 specification instead.

2. Install the driver on a private agent by extracting the download and then copying the file db2jcc4.jar to <JITTERBIT_HOME>/tomcat/drivers/lib/, replacing <JITTERBIT_HOME> with the path to your private agent root directory.

3. Edit the file <JITTERBIT_HOME>/JdbcDrivers.conf and add this driver entry:

   <Driver>
   <Name>IBM DB2 JCC Driver</Name>
   <Class>com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver</Class>
   <Subprotocol>db2</Subprotocol>
   </Driver>
   

4. Locate and copy your IBM-provided license file db2jcc_license_cisuz-XX.jar to <JITTERBIT_HOME>/tomcat/shared/lib/.

5. Edit the file <JITTERBIT_HOME>/tomcat/conf/catalina.properties and add this entry if not present:

   shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/lib/*.jar
   

6. All Jitterbit services must be restarted in order for the new configuration to take effect.

   On the machine where each private agent is installed, first stop the services, then restart them. See Restart a Windows private agent or Restart a Linux private agent for more information.

Configure the database connection

After the JDBC driver is installed, specify these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select JDBC.

• Driver: Select the IBM DB2 (JCC) driver.

• Use Connection String: Under Optional Settings, select this checkbox.

• Connection String: Under Optional Settings, enter a manual connection string, replacing this example with your own host and database name (if applicable):

  Sample Connection String

  jdbc:db2://example.com/DBNAME
  

WHERE clause examples

These WHERE clause examples are provided for reference purposes when configuring a Database query activity:

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'D21' AND HIREDATE > '1987-12-31'

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'C01' OR WORKDEPT = 'D11'

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'E11' AND NOT JOB = 'ANALYST'

  WHERE EDLEVEL > 12 AND
     (WORKDEPT = 'E11' OR WORKDEPT = 'E21')

  WHERE WORKDEPT = 'E11' AND EDLEVEL = 12 AND JOB = 'CLERK'

  WHERE (WORKDEPT, EDLEVEL, JOB) = ('E11', 12, 'CLERK')

For additional examples, refer to the IBM Knowledge Center articles for the specific version:

• Specifying a search condition using the WHERE clause
• Multiple search conditions within a WHERE clause
• Defining complex search conditions

Microsoft Access

You must be running a private agent in order to connect to Microsoft Access. Microsoft Office must be installed on the same system that the private agent is running on, and that system must be a Windows operating system. Note that the Jitterbit team has not tested Linux ODBC drivers for Microsoft Access.

Install the ODBC driver

The Microsoft Access ODBC driver is typically installed as part of Windows. Older drivers support the .mdb file extension. However, if your database is Access 2007 or later with the .accdb extension, you may need to obtain a later version of the ODBC driver such as the Microsoft Access 2016 Redistributable.

Configure the database connection

After the driver is installed, specify these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select ODBC.

• Driver: Select the Microsoft Access driver.

• Use Connection String: Under Optional Settings, select this checkbox.

• Connection String: Under Optional Settings, enter the manual connection string using this format:

  DRIVER=<driver>;DBQ=<database-path>;UID=<username>;PWD=<password>;
  

  Use one of these connection strings, depending on the version and whether you have a password. Replace the folder path and file name with those specific to the file located on your private agent.

  Microsoft Access Driver (\*.mdb) without Password

  DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=C:\myfolder\mydatabase.accdb;
  

  Microsoft Access Driver (\*.mdb, \*.accdb) with Password

  DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb, *accdb)};DBQ=C:\myfolder\mydatabase.accdb;UID=username;PWD=password;
  

Configure database activities

During Database activity configuration, note that the Microsoft Access ODBC driver does not support searching for objects. Do not enter search criteria into the table selection search box, as no results will be returned.

WHERE clause examples

These WHERE clause examples are provided for reference purposes when configuring a Database query activity:

WHERE [LastName]='Bagel'

WHERE field1 LIKE field2

WHERE City = "Chicago" OR BirthDate < DateAdd (" yyyy ", -40, Date())

For additional examples, refer to Microsoft's documentation:

• Access SQL: WHERE clause
• Examples of query criteria

Microsoft Excel

You must be using a private agent in order to connect to an Excel spreadsheet.

Install the ODBC driver

To connect to Excel spreadsheets, you may need to install a driver if the appropriate driver is not already included with the private agent's operating system.

For example, Windows 10 comes with x32 .xls ODBC drivers that support Excel versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0/95, and 97-2000. However, to get the newer ODBC drivers that support all of these versions and Excel 12.0 (Excel 2007), you can install one of these drivers:

• Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime (Win 7/8/10/2008 R2/2012)
• Microsoft Access 2016 Redistributable

Configure the database connection

After the driver is installed, specify these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select ODBC.

• Driver: Select the Microsoft Excel driver.

• Use Connection String: Under Optional Settings, select this checkbox.

• Connection String: Under Optional Settings, use one of these connection strings, depending on your version of Excel. Replace the folder path and file name with those specific to the file located on the private agent.

  Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, Excel 2003

  Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};
  DBQ=C:\Folder Path\My File Name.xls;
  

  Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013

  Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};
  DBQ=C:\Folder Path\My File Name.xlsx;
  

  To specify the connection to be updateable (for example, if you want to allow writing to a target file), you can add ReadOnly=0; to the end of the connection string. For example:

  Updateable

  Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};
  DBQ=C:\Folder Path\My File Name.xlsx;ReadOnly=0;
  

  Tip

  See additional options for Excel connection strings at Microsoft Excel 2007 ODBC Driver connection strings in the The Connection Strings Reference.

Configure database activities

During Database activity configuration, you can select and join worksheets within the Excel spreadsheet:

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server databases are accessible from Jitterbit agents running on Windows or Linux, with Windows ODBC on private agents recommended for optimized performance. However, note that if you want to use additional features, such as being able to provide a manual query, these are available using the JDBC driver only. Harmony supports these authentication options:

• MS SQL ODBC on Windows using Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication
• MS SQL JDBC on Windows using Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication
• MS SQL JDBC on Linux using SQL Server authentication

The procedures below show how to configure Microsoft SQL Server as a Database connection using either Windows or SQL Server authentication, followed by examples of WHERE clauses that can be used with database activities.

Windows authentication

Windows authentication is supported using ODBC and JDBC on private agents only, and can be used with only one domain account. To use Windows authentication, set up these properties in Windows:

1. Open the Services Administrative tool (Start > Administrative Tools > Services).
2. If using ODBC, right-click the Jitterbit Apache Server service and select Properties. If using JDBC, right-click the Jitterbit Tomcat Server service and select Properties.
3. Go to the Log On tab. Select This account and enter the name and credentials of the account you want to use for authentication. Then click Apply.
4. Repeat for the Jitterbit Process Engine service.
5. Set TempDir in the agent configuration file (jitterbit.conf) to C:\Windows\Temp\jitterbit.
6. Restart Jitterbit services.

After these steps are completed, go to Integration Studio and set up your database as usual, specifying these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select ODBC or JDBC as appropriate.

  Important

  Windows authentication is supported with the following JDBC drivers:

  • SQL Server jTDS [JDBC]
  • SQL Server Microsoft [JDBC]
  • Newer versions of the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server

  To use Windows authentication with the Microsoft JDBC drivers, copy the mssql-jdbc_auth-x.x.x.x64.dll file bundled with the driver's download package to the C:\Program Files\Jitterbit Agent\jre\bin folder on the agent. Make a backup copy of the file as it may be deleted during major agent upgrades.

• Driver: Select the SQL Server driver.

• Server Name: Enter the name or IP address of the server running the SQL Server that Harmony needs to connect to. You may need to specify the SQL Server instance name (HostName\InstanceName).
• Database Name: Enter the name of the database on the server that Harmony needs to connect to.
• Login and Password: Leave these fields blank.

• Additional Connection String Parameters: Under Optional Settings, enter the following depending on your driver:

  • ODBC SQL Server: If you are using the ODBC SQL Server driver enter integratedSecurity=true. If this does not work, enter Trusted_Connection=yes.
  • ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server, SQL Server Native Client 10.0, SQL Server Native Client 11.0: If you are using another ODBC SQL server driver, enter Trusted_Connection=yes.
  • SQL Server jTDS [JDBC], SQL Server Microsoft [JDBC]: If you are using a JDBC SQL Server driver enter integratedSecurity=true.

The driver will now authenticate as the Windows domain user specified above.

SQL Server authentication

Go to Integration Studio and set up your database as usual, specifying these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select either ODBC or JDBC as appropriate.

• Driver: Select the SQL Server driver. When selecting a JDBC driver, we recommend using SQL Server MS JDBC.

• Server Name: Enter the name or IP address of the server running the SQL Server that Harmony needs to connect to. You may need to specify the SQL Server instance name (HostName\InstanceName).

• Database Name: Enter the name of the database on the server that Harmony needs to connect to.

• Login and Password: Enter the username and password for SQL Server authentication.

The driver will now authenticate using the SQL Server authentication credentials as specified.

WHERE clause examples

These WHERE clause examples are provided for reference purposes when configuring a Database query activity:

WHERE LastName = 'Smith' ;

WHERE LastName LIKE ('%Smi%');

WHERE EmployeeKey  <= 500;

WHERE EmployeeKey = 1 OR EmployeeKey = 8 OR EmployeeKey = 12;

WHERE EmployeeKey <= 500 AND LastName LIKE '%Smi%' AND FirstName LIKE '%A%';

WHERE LastName IN ('Smith', 'Godfrey', 'Johnson');

WHERE EmployeeKey Between 100 AND 200;

For additional examples, refer to Microsoft's documentation:

• WHERE (Transact-SQL)
• Search Condition (Transact-SQL)

MySQL

We recommend using the MySQL JDBC driver for MySQL that ships with the Jitterbit agent. Using the JDBC driver is recommended for additional features, such as being able to provide a manual query, that are not available through an ODBC connection.

If you want to use an ODBC driver (private agents only), one can be downloaded at MySQL Community Downloads, Connector/ODBC.

ODBC and JDBC

After the driver is installed, specify these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select either ODBC or JDBC as appropriate.

• Driver: Select the MySQL driver. The driver is typically called "MySQL" for JDBC or "MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver" for ODBC.

• Server Name: Enter the name or IP address of the database server.

• Database Name: Enter the name of the catalog that Harmony needs to access.

• Login and Password: Enter the user credentials for Harmony to use to access the database.

If you are still unable to see the driver after seeing it in the ODBC manager, double-check that you are connecting to the correct machine. To do so, stop the Jitterbit Apache service on that machine and make sure you can no longer connect using the client.

Permission errors

If you get permission errors such as "Access denied for user 'root'@'%' to database 'test'" and you are certain that the credentials are correct, it may be a MySQL configuration problem. You can configure MySQL to accept different credentials for different IP addresses or a group of addresses. See the MySQL documentation or contact your MySQL administrator.

Ports

The port required to allow the Jitterbit agent to communicate with a remote MySQL database depends on the port that MySQL has been configured to listen to. Open that port (default 3306) on the machine where the MySQL database server is running.

Secure or encrypt the connection

Securing the connection between a database and a private agent depends on the ODBC driver being used. The standard MySQL ODBC driver does not use encryption. The best way to enable such encryption is by tunneling the connection through SSH. This can be done on private agents only.

WHERE clause examples

These WHERE clause examples are provided for reference purposes when configuring a Database query activity:

WHERE
    jobtitle = 'Sales Rep' AND
    officeCode = 1;

WHERE
    jobtitle <> 'Sales Rep';

WHERE
    officecode > 5;

WHERE
    officecode <= 4;

WHERE t1.primary_key=1 AND t2.primary_key=t1.id;

WHERE key_part1=constant;

WHERE key_part1=val1 AND key_part2=val2;

For additional examples, refer to Basic MySQL Tutorial and to the MySQL Reference Manual article WHERE Clause Optimization.

Oracle

You can connect to an Oracle database using either a JDBC or ODBC driver. The JDBC driver is recommended for additional features, such as being able to provide a manual query, that are not available through an ODBC connection. This section describes how to configure an Oracle database within Integration Studio using an ODBC driver on private agents.

Install the Oracle client on the Jitterbit private agent

Before you can establish a connection to Oracle through ODBC, you must have the Oracle Client (including the Oracle ODBC driver) installed on the Jitterbit private agent. If you are using multiple private agents within an agent group, the Oracle Client must be installed on all agents in the group. See Agents for details.

Configure and test the Oracle client

After you have installed the Oracle Client, configure the tnsnames.ora file to reference the database you are planning to use. This is part of the standard Oracle Client setup procedure. For additional information see the Tnsnames.org - Oracle FAQ or refer to the Oracle documentation for the version you are using.

After the Oracle Client is set up on the private agent, you should test the server to ensure that Harmony has connectivity to the database. One way to do this is to connect to the server through SQL*Plus. If this is successful, the Oracle Client should operate correctly with Harmony.

In addition, some versions of the Oracle driver (not the Microsoft Oracle driver) may require one or more environment variables within the operating system to be set. For example:

ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/10.2.0
TNS_ADMIN=/usr/local/oracle/10.2.0/network/admin
TWO_TASK=//dbdpmr:1555/pmrd1

On Linux, you may also need to add the Oracle library directory to your path (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH ). Add these to the /etc/sysconfig/jitterbit file. Some examples are shown below, but the exact path depends on your Oracle Client installation:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/lib
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/10.2.0
export TNS_ADMIN=/usr/local/oracle/10.2.0/network/admin
export TWO_TASK=//dbdpmr:1555/pmrd1

Configure the database connection

After the Oracle Client is configured and tested, specify these inputs during configuration of the Database connection:

• Driver Type: Select ODBC.

• Driver: Select the Oracle driver. If you do not see your driver in the list, see Add your driver to the Jitterbit agent config file below.

• Use Connection String: Under Optional Settings, select this checkbox. You must construct the connection string manually, as Oracle references the database based on the setting in tnsnames.ora.

• Connection String: Under Optional Settings, enter the manual connection string for your specific Oracle database. For example:

  Oracle in OraHome92

  Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};Dbq=myTNSServiceName;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
  

  Oracle in OraClient11g_home1

  DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient11g_home1};SERVER=[server SID];UID=[userid];
  PWD=[password];DBQ=[server SID];
  

  Tip

  Additional Oracle connection string examples are available at The Connection Strings Reference.

Add your driver to the private agent config file

Because of the many variations on the Oracle driver name, you may need to add your driver information to the private agent configuration file.

Once the driver information is added as described below, while selecting your driver within Integration Studio you should see your driver appear in the list of ODBC drivers. If the steps below are not successful, see Install additional ODBC or JDBC drivers for details regarding driver installation.

Remote agent configuration

If you have remote agent configuration enabled through the Management Console, you can add your driver information under the Db Drivers tab as follows. For details on remote agent configuration, see the section on Agents under Agents.

1. Within the Management Console, go to Agents > Agent Groups.

2. Within the table, find your agent group and use the Action dropdown to select Jitterbit Conf.

3. In the dialog, select the tab Db Drivers, then click Edit in the upper right. Find the following example entry for a specific Oracle version, and replace the provided sample information with that for your specific Oracle ODBC driver. When complete, click Submit to save the driver information to the private agent configuration file.

   #Oracle in OraClient10g_home2
   'Oracle in OraClient10g_home2 Quote Begin'='\"'
   'Oracle in OraClient10g_home2 Quote End'='\"'
   

4. All Jitterbit services must be restarted in order for the new configuration to take effect.

   On the machine where each private agent is installed, first stop the services, then restart them. See Restart a Windows private agent or Restart a Linux private agent for more information.

Manual agent configuration

If you are using manual agent configuration, you can add your driver information under the [DbDrivers] section of the jitterbit.conf file located on each private agent. For details, see Edit the configuration file (jitterbit.conf).

1. Open jitterbit.conf in a text editor and scroll to the [DbDrivers] section.

2. Find the following example entry for a specific Oracle version, and replace the provided sample information with that for your specific Oracle ODBC driver. When complete, save the jitterbit.conf file.

   #Oracle in OraClient10g_home2
   'Oracle in OraClient10g_home2 Quote Begin'='\"'
   'Oracle in OraClient10g_home2 Quote End'='\"'
   

3. All Jitterbit services must be restarted in order for the new configuration to take effect.

   On the machine where each private agent is installed, first stop the services, then restart them. See Restart a Windows private agent or Restart a Linux private agent for more information.

WHERE clause examples

These WHERE clause examples are provided for reference purposes when configuring a Database query activity:

WHERE
    product_name = 'Kingston';

WHERE
    list_price > 500;

WHERE
    list_price > 500
    AND category_id = 4;

WHERE
    list_price BETWEEN 650 AND 680

WHERE
    category_id IN(1, 4)

WHERE
    product_name LIKE 'Asus%'

WHERE business_seats_taken IS NULL
    OR business_seats_taken = 0

WHERE EMP_ACT.EMPNO = EMPLOYEE.EMPNO

WHERE THIS_EMP.JOB = 'SALESREP'
       AND THIS_EMP.WORKDEPT = DINFO.DEPTNO

For additional examples, refer to Oracle Basics and the Oracle article WHERE clause.

PostgreSQL

You can connect to an PostgreSQL database using either a JDBC or ODBC driver. The JDBC driver is recommended for additional features, such as being able to provide a manual query, that are not available through an ODBC connection. The PostgreSQL drivers should already be available on the Jitterbit agent, as the agent currently uses PostgreSQL to store internal data.

Client encoding

If you receive a "client encoding mismatch" error when you test the connection to a PostgreSQL database, this means the encoding that the PostgreSQL server you are connecting to is different than the default encoding assumed by the PostgreSQL driver.

To resolve this issue, set the client encoding on Windows to WIN1251 and specify the encoding during configuration of a Database connection:

• Additional Connection String Parameters: Under Optional Settings, enter this additional parameter:

  ConnSettings=SET CLIENT_ENCODING to 'LATIN1'
  

Linux users

When running the Jitterbit agent on Linux, always use the PostgreSQL driver installed with the agent. The PostgreSQL driver installed with many distributions as part of unixODBC does not work well with Harmony and produces errors.

WHERE clause examples

These WHERE clause examples are provided for reference purposes when configuring a Database query activity:

WHERE first_name = 'Jamie' AND
 last_name = 'Rice';

WHERE amount <= 1 OR amount >= 8;

WHERE distributors.name LIKE 'W%'

WHERE did = $1;

WHERE manager_name = 'Mary'

WHERE er.employee_name = e.manager_name

For additional examples, refer to PostgreSQL Tutorial and the PostgreSQL Manual for your version.

Progress

Follow the steps below to configure and use the Progress JDBC driver on each Jitterbit private agent within a private agent group:

1. Download the Progress database JDBC driver (openedge.jar).

2. Stop Jitterbit services by running StopServices.bat in your private agent home directory. The private agent root directory is usually in one of these default locations:

   • Windows (Harmony): C:\Program Files (x86)\Jitterbit Agent\

   • Windows (v5.x): C:\Program Files (x86)\Jitterbit Integration Server\

   • Linux: /opt/jitterbit

3. Copy the JAR file to this recommended folder path: <JITTERBIT_HOME>/tomcat/drivers/lib/, replacing <JITTERBIT_HOME> with the private agent root directory.

   Caution

   You may also have JAR files located in <JITTERBIT_HOME>/tomcat/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib/; however, this directory may be overwritten if you upgrade your private agent. Instead, we recommend placing any drivers you install in <JITTERBIT_HOME>/tomcat/drivers/lib/.

4. Add these lines to JdbcDrivers.conf file in your private agent home directory:

   <Driver>
   <Name>Progress OpenEdge</Name>
   <Class>com.ddtek.jdbc.openedge.OpenEdgeDriver</Class>
   <Subprotocol>datadirect:openedge</Subprotocol>
   </Driver>
   

5. Restart Jitterbit services by running StartServices.bat in the private agent home directory.

6. During configuration of the Database connection, specify these inputs:

   • Driver Type: Select JDBC.

   • Driver: Select the Progress OpenEdge driver.

   • Use Connection String: Under Optional Settings, select this checkbox.

7. Connection String: Under Optional Settings, enter the manual connection string with the appropriate host, port, and database name:

   jdbc:datadirect:openedge://localhost:7777;databaseName=jb
   

8. On successful connection, you should be able to view the tables and views during Database activity configuration.
