Error In Connecting To Maximo Database In Birt Eclipse Tool

italugyaja

Hi there,

I have a standalone maximo database by the name MAXIMO.DBF in oracle 10g XE edition .I did the following steps to create a new database connection

Added a new Jdbc driver for oracle XE from the path C:oraclexeapporacleproduct10.2.0serverjdbclibojdbc14.jar

I edited the JDBC driver adn gave the URL Template as jdbc:oracle:thin:@&lt;host>:<port>:<service>

At the time of establishing a connection following are the values that i have given

DRIVER CLASS :oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver (v10.2)
DRIVER URL:jdbc:oracle:thin:127.0.0.1:8081:MAXIMO( my database name )
Username: Maximo
Password :Maximo

after i test the connection i get an error "There is an error in get connection,Io Exception.Got minus one from a read call".

Can anyone please help!!!!.
I am new to this and do not knwo hoe to resolve this.

Hello

Have you tried connecting to the sample database that is shipped out on Oracle XE through BIRT?

Also by default the port is 1521, have you changed this? The default is
jdbcoracle:thin: @localhost:1521:xe","system","password");

however I would chnage the localhost to your machine name.

Hope this helps.
