I want to connect with SQL but i can not!!

Good Morning.
I'm new to reportserver. I already install the windows version and when I want to add a new datasource (sql in my pc) I can not do it.
Always return the same error "Could not open connection to: null with user: myUser.java.lang.NullPointerException"
I was already looking at some blog on the internet, I downloaded the file "sqljdbc42.jar" and I copied it in the folder "C: \ Bitnami \ reportserverenterprise-3.0.3-2 \ apache-tomcat \ webapps \ reportserver \ WEB-INF \ lib "
I tried the following url:
jdbc: sqlserver: //; servername = MyServer \ MyInstance; database = MyDB
jdbc: sqlserver: // localhost; user = MyUser; password = myPass;
jdbc: sqlserver: // MiIP; databaseName = MyDB
jdbc: sqlserver: // MiIP: MyPort; databaseName = permissionsba2

I do not know what to do to connect. I would appreciate some comments to solve this problem and start using the tool.
greetings and thanks

Hi edconsi,

did you by chance forget to copy the jdbc drivers to the lib directory ?  We cannot integrate them in our distribution due to the license under which you can user them. Pls. Check :

https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admi … a-Sources/ (->4.1)
https://forum.reportserver.net/viewtopic.php?id=968 or
https://forum.reportserver.net/viewtopic.php?id=630

and let me know if this is a fix ...

Re: I want to connect with SQL but i can not!!

thanks for your answer. I tell you that I copied the "sqljdbc42.jar" files to the lib directory. What's more, I have it in 2 directories:
C: \ Bitnami \ reportserverenterprise-3.0.3-2 \ apache-tomcat \ webapps \ reportserver \ WEB-INF \ lib
C: \ Bitnami \ reportserverenterprise-3.0.3-2 \ apps \ reportserver \ reportserver-conf \ lib
it's OK?

Any more files I have to add?

Hello edconsi,

please post a screenshot of your datasource configuration. The url should be:  jdbc:sqlserver://IP;databaseName=DBNAME
Also post the complete error stack you are getting from the tomcat logs.

Regards,
Eduardo

Hi edconsi,

also make sure you save your datasource before pressing the "test connection" button.

Regards,
Eduardo

Eduardo!!!

Thank you very much for your answer, it seems a lie, but it was that, it had to be applied before testing the connection. thank you very much
Surely I will continue consulting them as I start with my project, which is to create a dashboard.
