To ensure that you can connect toward Oracle MySQL Community Server, confirm that you are using the vendor's native driver instead of the DataDirect driver as well as the corresponding data source template. If you have not installed these drivers or enabled the corresponding templates, then follow the steps below. Downloading and installing JDBC drivers, then enabling their default templates: 1. Download the JDBC driver *.jar file from the vendor. 2. Place the *.jar file in: [Server Installation Directory]\tss\7.0.0\tomcat\lib . 3. Go to the Start-menu, and choose "TIBCO Spotfire Server X.X" -> "Configure TIBCO Spotfire Server X.X" . 4. Enter your configuration tool password. 5. Go to the "Configuration" tab, and choose Data Source Templates from the menu to the left. 6. Check the corresponding data source template check-box, in this case the "MySQL" template. 7. Press "Save Configuration" in the lower part of the configuration tool user interface. 8. Choose to save the configuration in the database. 9. Write a describing comment of the changes made and save it to the database. 10. Restart the TIBCO Spotfire Server.
