Example 4: Via DB2

This topic introduces how to set up a JDBC Connection via DB2.

Assume that:

• You have already installed DB2 driver, and have appended the archive files of the driver to the ADDCLASSPATH variable in the file setenv.bat in <designer_install_root>\bin.
• The DB2 database server is with the following information:

  Driver: com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
  URL: jdbc:db2://qad01.jinfonet.com.cn:50000/JRDemo
  User: jrDesign
  Password: Test1234

• A catalog has been created with a default data source.

Take the following steps to set up a connection which connects Logi JReport Designer to a database via DB2:

1. Start Logi JReport Designer and open the catalog.
2. In the Catalog Manager, right-click the node of the default data source and select New JDBC Connection from the shortcut menu. Select JDBC in the Select Connection Type dialog.
3. In the Get JDBC Connection Information dialog, enter the JDBC driver class name com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver in the Driver text field.
4. In the URL text field, specify the URL as jdbc:db2://qad01.jinfonet.com.cn:50000/JRDemo.
5. Input the user name jrDesign and password Test1234 respectively.

   

6. Select OK to set up the connection.
