Connect Pentaho to MS SQL Server (Native)

Question

I am very new in using PENTAHO. I need to connect this software to MS SQL Server (Native). I already try to connect it many time but every time I test the connection, failed. This is the error message that occur every time I test the connection.

Error connecting to database [sutera] : 
org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException: 
Error occured while trying to connect to the database

Error connecting to database: (using class   

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver)

The TCP/IP connection to the host 172.16.1.133, port 1433 has failed. Error: "connect timed out. Verify the connection properties, check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP connections to the port.".

Can anyone help me to solve this problem? I really need your help. TQ

Answer 1

Alright, this kept me busy for a nasty little while. This is what worked for me:

System info:

• win10
• PDI community edition Version 9.4
• SQL Server 2019
• Java install 1: jre1.8.0_361
• Java install 2: jdk1.8.0_361

Download:

• Driver bundle "sqljdbc_6.0.8112.200_enu.tar.gz" from source https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11774 (over time the exact name will change. the url seems to stay the same)

Actions:

1. shut down pentaho/spoon
2. unpack file "sqljdbc_6.0.8112.200_enu.tar.gz". this gets you a folder with subfolders and various files in them.
3. copy this file: "sqljdbc_6.0.8112.200_enu.tar\sqljdbc_6.0\enu\auth\x64\sqljdbc_auth.dll" to this location: "...\data-integration\libswt\win64"
4. copy this file: "sqljdbc_6.0.8112.200_enu.tar\sqljdbc_6.0\enu\jre8\sqljdbc42.jar" to this location: "...\data-integration\lib"
5. start up spoon

I hope this does it for You..

Thanks to the other posters.

Answer 2

Follow Bart VdA's steps, then go to Pentaho, file, new, transformation. Go to the preview tab, select transformation, click connections, new connection. Enter the default sql server settings as shown in the image below.

Answer 3

Adding my solution because none of the above match exactly. I got the sqljdbc_auth.dll as was suggested in this article and just put it into the data-integration\libswt\win64 directory and started Spoon. I was able to authenticate after that.

Answer 4

Just wrestled with this on my Mac.

By default the "root" directory when you unzip the archive is data-integration. I moved it over to a directory called "Pentaho" -- it's a small thing, but not exactly clear -- you want the JDBC driver in the lib sub-directory off of whatever ROOT directory you are using for Pentaho.

I used the latest JDBC driver -- sqljdbc42.jar -- works just fine -- worked just fine with the mariadb-java-client-2.1.0.jar for Aurora DB on AWS RDS.

Answer 5

Integrated Security Setup

To connect to database with integrated security, following steps should be done:

• Download Microsoft JDBC Drivers 4.2 on https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11774
• Unzip the package in a temp directory
• Close Spoon

• Copy '<temp directory>\sqljdbc_4.2\enu\auth\x86\sqljdbc_auth.dll' to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_73\bin' (32-bit)

• Copy '<temp directory>\sqljdbc_4.2\enu\sqljdbc42.jar' to '<Kettle installation folder>\data-integration\lib'
• Open Spoon
• Test connection in spoon
• Delete temp directory

If you upgrade Kettle, Java, JDBC Driver to a higher version, you have to repeat the above steps

Answer 6

Here is what worked for me to connect Pentaho PDI to a Microsoft SQL Server:

1. Download the official Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server (v4.0) from here.

2. It comes bundled with two jar files, copy the file "sqljdbc4.jar" into your path data-integration\lib.

3. Restart Pentaho and try the connection MS SQL server(Native) again.

Note: I used this method for Pentaho PDI (Kettle), but it should work for the rest of products of the suite.

Note2: Even if you are using windows you can download the ".tar.gz" file instead of the ".exe" because you are using it just for Pentaho.

Answer 7

add "sqljdbc41.jar" to \Pentaho\java\bin and "sqljdbc_auth" (Diff for 32-bit and 64-bit version) to \Pentaho\design-tools\data-integration\lib

Answer 8

For SQL Server's "Inregratedsecurity" authentication feature to work you must copy the sqljdbc_auth.dll to the BA server's "~\tomcat\bin" location and restart the BA server.

Hope this'll help!

Answer 9

I dont know whether you have followed these steps or not.but what i want to mention ::

1>first add jdbc driver for ms sql server add in tomcat->lib. sqljdbc4.jar

find the below image

I hope it is helpful.
