Hello,
I just downloaded and installed Birt 2.0 and I'm having trouble setting
up my JDBC datasource. I go into create New Data Source, select JDBC
Data Source, and enter all of my information. I added our db2java.zip
driver to the org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.0.0\drivers
directory, and I see two new Driver Class options, and no matter what I
put in the URL field I get this error:
The selected driver cannot parse the given url
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Trent

Hey Jason,
Yes, I did go through that process and I added our db2java.zip to the
JAR Files listing. This caused two new drivers to show up on the
drivers tab:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver ( v8.1)
and
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver ( v8.1)
....so I think adding our driver worked. I then went back to creating my
Data Source and no matter which driver I choose and what URL I put into
the URL box, I get the stated error. I've tried the following entries
for URL, and nothing worked:
jdbc:db2://ip.address:9999/databasename
jdbc:db2://hostname:9999/databasename
jdbc:db2:databasename
jdbc:db2:databasename;port=9999
I even tried this (which I know is wrong) just to see if I can get past
the parsing error, and it still errored out.
jdbc:db2://localhost/databasename
Any other ideas? :)
Thanks for your help,
Trent

Trent,
A couple of questions:
(1) Did you see the error message "the selected driver cannot parse the
given url" when you do "Test Connection" in the new Data Source wizard?
(2) If yes, ignore the error and proceed to create a data set based on that
jdbc data source. Does it work? If not what errors do you see?
(3) How can I obtain a copy of the db2 driver you are testing with?
thanks,
