Re: BO xir3.1 sp6

Universe supports both ODBC and JDBC connectivity to GreenPlum DB

1. on Solaris machine install greenplum client(download from net) and configure it with db connection details, check the details in link below to install and configure ODBC connectivity on Solaris(Unix)

2 .on window client machine where you have universe designer tool is installed, install greenplum client and create a DSN and test the connection.

make sure DSN should have same name in both client and server .

3. download JDBC jar for greenplum from internet and set the path of that greenplum jar in jdbc.sbo file(both server and client)  and restart connection server form CMC(below mentioned is sample jdbc.sbo file)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<DataBase Active="Yes" Name="GreenPlum 4">

      <JDBCDriver>

        <!--  Uncomment and edit the following lines

                     to define java classes required by JDBC driver

                &lt;ClassPath&gt;

                    &lt;Path&gt;your jar or class files directory&lt;/Path&gt;

                &lt;/ClassPath&gt;

         -->

  <ClassPath><Path>location of the jar</Path></ClassPath>

        <Parameter Name="JDBC Class">org.postgresql.Driver</Parameter>

        <Parameter Name="URL Format">jdbc:postgresql://$DATASOURCE$/$DATABASE$</Parameter>

      </JDBCDriver>

-------------------------------------------------------

4. launch universe design tool and create connection by giving proper connection details either for ODBC or JDBC and test it

5. Create universe and then access it via webi to create Webi report.

hope this helps.
