  • 1.  Pentaho Server - Error trying to connect to a MySQL Connector

    Posted 9 days ago

    Hi Community! its me again!

    Today i was trying to run a test job in the Pentaho Server Site of my company...

    The proyect consist in connect to a MySQL Server Database and do a simple insert to a Table called "Dolar_Oficial"

    When i try to do it in Pentaho Data Integration Spoon GUI locally the job runs without a trouble but when i upload the job to the Pentaho Server URL i got the following error.

    Here i list the log from the kettle/status page of Pentaho Server...

    2024/04/25 14:02:00 - Job - Start of job execution
    2024/04/25 14:02:00 - Job - Starting entry [Insert Dolar Oficial]

    2024/04/25 14:02:00 - Job - Finished job entry [Insert Dolar Oficial] (result=[false])
    2024/04/25 14:02:00 - Job - Job execution finished

    I know before that i need to put the jdbc connector of mysql in my Pentaho Data Integration folder to run it but i dont know if i need to do it in my Pentaho Server so i can run it too...

    If i need to do it where is the correct path to put that connector file?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Mariano, 

    You need to put the connector file into tomcat/lib folder, and it will work.

    Thanks.
