Hi Community,
is anyone already using the CABI Jaspersoft for spectrum? Does anybody know the difference between the shown datasources "spectrum_domain_ds" and "spectrum_ds"?
"spectrum_domain_ds" connects to the srmdbapi database (set of readonly database objects to support custom data analysis requirements) and "spectrum_ds" connects to the reporting database (event data).
I am asking for the difference, because the default settings of "spectrum_domain_ds" seems to have an impact on my jaspersoft server. At least I am able to see some error messages in my std.out file and furthermore I am not able to create and save AdHoc reports. That will result in the error message:
Error Message
An error occurred while creating the connection. Try again.
Error Message
java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not connect to breeze-w2k8vm3:3306 : breeze-w2k8vm3
I am able to see this error message in Jaspersoft on different installations with different server and host names. This is interesting, because host "breeze-w2k8vm3" does not exist at any of this sites and I have not set such a host name during the setup. So every Jaspersoft installation tries to connect to the same unknown server. During investigation, I have seen a weird configuration of the spectrum_domain_ds source. That config contains the unknown host name and credentials, which causes that issue. But I have never set such connection settings and credentials in any configuration or setup file. (screen dump attached)
By the way, the out-of-the-box spectrum reports are running fine and using a correct sql connection to a sql server (defined during the installation). The out-of-the-box reports are using the datasource template named spectrum_ds, which contains the correct sql setup.
I have not seen any errors in the install log files. A full text search for the unknown host name "breeze-w2k8vm3" above all of the install and configuration files does not provide any match.
Is anybody able to recreate this issue on his site as well? Did I miss any hint in the documentation, which asks to change this setting "spectrum_domain_ds" for a working connection?
When I set the connections settings to a working SQL systems (a SRM with srmdbapi db) I am able to save the AdHoc report as expected and the error message regarding a wrong sql connection are gone.
So what does this faulty default config of "spectrum_domain_ds" mean?
Thanks!
