Installing database drivers for Information Designer
The Information Designer tool, available in Spotfire Analyst, allows users to create analyses based on data retrieved from external JDBC sources. These external data sources are accessed using database drivers.
To connect to an external data source, you must also enable a data source template that matches the database and the specific database driver.
Note: The database connection URL, used by the server to connect to the database, may differ for different database drivers; see
Database drivers and database connection URLs.
Procedure
- Download the database driver.
- Place the driver in the following directory: <installation dir>/tomcat/lib.
- Restart Spotfire Server.
- Enable a data source template that matches the database and the specific database driver that you are using. To enable the template, you can use either the configuration tool or the command add-ds-template.
