Hey All,

 

I got the SAS/ACCESS interface with JDBC installed but I'm still getting the error:

 

libname x JDBC driverclass="com.jaspersoft.jdbc.driver.JasperDriver"
url="jdbc:jaspersoft@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
user='xxxxxxx' password=XXXXXXXXXXX classpath="c:\users\danielle.cousseiro\lib";

 

ERROR: The JDBC engine cannot be found.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

 

The JDBC driver for the third party database is located in c:\users\danielle.cousseiro\lib.

 

When I run proc product_status,  it does not show SAS/ACCESS interface with JDBC, although it is installed. Any clues?

I saw a question related to the ODBC driver and the user had to perform the installation. I',m not sure if this would be the case as well

 

Many thanks

Does it show when you run PROC SETINIT?

There is no such Access JDBC in SAS, Try ODBC if you have it (set up a connection/dsn in data source of control panel for Windows OS ).

Hi,

 

I would if I could, but our vendor said the database only accepts JDBC.

 

If there's no such thing as JDBC to SAS, why I just bought the software called SAS/ACCESS interface to JDBC? Perhaps SAS is tricking me 🙂

What does the SETINIT show? That's what your license includes. Since this is a new addition, I'm assuming someone needed to install it for you. I'm guessing that didn't happen. In either case, you can also use SAS/CONNECT with JDBC drivers.

Hi Reeza,

 

Thnak you for your reply. I got the software installed (SAS/ACCESS interface with JDBC) however proc SETINIT does not show it as installed and that's what i'm trying to figure it out with the support. I saw at the website that SAS/ACCESS interface with JDBC works for SASViya and I'm wondering if it works with EG too. I'm not sure if that's the case.

This is very much a tech support issue, your best bet is to keep working with them.

Hi Reeza,

 

Yes, agreed. I was just wondering if someone had the same issue and could give me some help.

 

Thank you

I guess you are using SAS 9.x with SAS EG. What does proc product_status report now? Does it now include JDBC? My understanding is that SAS/ACCESS to JDBC is available with both SAS 9.4M6 and Viya.

Hi SASKiwi,

 

Thank you fro your reply. I'm new to this installation process, so not sure if my answers are correct.

 

What I have here is SAS 9.4 with EG 7.1.

 

I hope JDBC works with both. I'm intrigued that all the documentation specifies SAS Viya. For example, the link below:

 

https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=dplyml0phy0lax&docsetTarget=n0xg0w4vqvat8gn102yocth6r1fa.htm...

 

It says Note: The information in this section is applicable only if you ordered SAS/ACCESS Interface to JCBC (on SAS Viya).

 

But I also have SAS Studio and this link below says :

 

From SAS Studio, edit and run the following SAS code to verify the SAS/ACCESS to JDBC LIBNAME statement:

libname jdbc driver="full-jdbc-driver-name"
 URL="jdbc-connection-url" username="user-ID" password="user-password";

If SAS/ACCESS to JDBC was successfully deployed, the execution of the LIBNAME statement will return results without error.

 

 When I run the code on SAS Studio, I also get the error like it wasn't deployed correctly.

 

ERROR: The JDBC engine cannot be found.

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.
 
So I don't know. Perhaps I have to reinstall the whole thing.

You should definitely be able to install the component. You never did confirm that SETINIT shows you have the appropriate license though. If it does, you can just install the component.

SetINIT verifies what's licensed, product_status what is installed.

Hi @dtravassos 

 

SAS/ACCESS Interface to JDBC is, indeed, a new product!

 

The following messages indicate that SAS/ACCESS Interface to JDBC is either not installed, or installed incorrectly.

ERROR: The JDBC engine cannot be found.

ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

 

Sometimes admins try to install only the SAS/ACCESS engine on an old SAS Foundation install. In the case of a new product, such as SAS/ACCESS Interface to JDBC, it will not work on an older SAS release. The error messages will likely be different than those mentioned above.

 

Just for fun, here are a couple of examples of  JDBC LIBNAME statements.

 

Up first, AWS Athena

 

/* The options can span line if the new line starts in column 1 and */
/* there is no space after the ; at the end of the line.           */

libname athena jdbc driver="com.simba.athena.jdbc.Driver"
classpath="C:\lib"
URL="jdbc:awsathena://athena.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:443;
s3_staging_dir=s3://bogus-athena/staging/;
S3OutputLocation=s3://bogus-athena/results/;
AwsCredentialsProviderClass=com.simba.athena.amazonaws.auth.profile.ProfileCredentialsProvider;
AwsCredentialsProviderArguments=617292774228-sandbox" DATABASE=jeffdb; 

 

Next, Teradata.

 

libname tera jdbc classpath="/opt/jdbcdrivers" 
                      class="com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver"
                      user="myuser" password="BogusPW1"
                      schema=myuser
                      URL="jdbc:teradata://tdserv.somecompany.com"
                      PRESERVE_NAMES=YES; 

if you get something wrong while connecting, you will see the infamous Java error message dump.

 

Best wishes,

Jeff

SAS/ACCESS to JDBC was released in Nov 2018 in 9.4M6 so it is available: https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=acreldb&docsetTarget=p1k1dk2k5q2rsan10z2f41q2f1jl.htm&docset...

 

If PROC PRODUCT_STATUS does not show JDBC, then it hasn't been installed. Check with your SAS Administrator to see if it was purchased or not.

Just to be more precise your SAS software would need to be in Revision 18w47:https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Product-Release/SAS-Release-Event-Revision-18w47/ba-p/519154 or later to contain SAS/ACCESS to JDBC. 

 

You can confirm your SAS revision by running this statement: %put &sysvlong4;
