Adding Progress datasource

I have added the openedgewp.jar file to WEB-INF\lib but the driver is not showing up when trying to create a datasource. Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks, Martin

Re: Adding Progress datasource

Hi Martin,

only the databases in the reportserver list are directly supported, which are the most common ones. But reportserver can work with virtually all databases that have a JDBC driver. For adding support for additional databases, please check here (this is an example of adding firebird support):
https://reportserver.net/blog/2013/06/2 … -firebird/

Please let us know if this worked, we may consider supporting your database directly in a future reporterver version (as happened with firebird).

Regards,
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo,

I have followed the instructions in the post you linked to. When i use the terminal when executing the groovy file i get the response command not found. The command I am using is exec -g Progress.groovy

Thanks, Martin

Re: Adding Progress datasource

Hi Martin,

for this, you need reportserver enterprise version (for scripting). You can download an enterprise evaluation from our homepage: https://reportserver.net/de/download/
Using community edition won't work when trying to execute scripts (e.g. using the exec command).

Hi Eduardo,

OK, if I script the change in for Progress, will this continue to work once the trial of Enterprise has ended?

Thanks, Martin

Re: Adding Progress datasource

Hi Martin,

no, this is not possible. Community edition is not able to execute scripts. But, as I told you, if you test this enhancement and it works well we may consider supporting your database directly in reportserver in a future version. If we do, community edition will support this database as well out-of-the-box.

Regards,
Eduardo
