Error Connecting to Oracle Database from Pentaho Report Designer
- by knt
Hi all,
I am new to Pentaho, and I am struggling to set up a new database connection. I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10g database, but whenever I test the connection, I get the below error. It doesn't really seem to list any specific error message so I'm not really sure what to do or where to go from this point.
I placed ojdbc jar's in my tomcat lib folder, but maybe there is another place those should go.
Any help/hints would be greatly appreciated.
