WebAnalysis Relational Database connection issue


This is for all the WebAnalysis Users who intend to create a SQL spreadsheet in WebAnalysis Studio.

When you try to add a SQL spread sheet you may have come across this error “Getting Connection Failed.”



WebAnalysis is not shipped with the JDBC drivers for making a relational database connection, and that’s the reason why you are getting this error.


To solve this error, download the respective JDBC drivers.

Extract the downloaded JDBC drivers to the WEB-INFlib folder of your WebAnalysis installation.

Restart WebAnalysis service and you are ready to go!!!!
