Does anyone have the developer guide or the process to connect IFS Report Builder with the database?

 

Hi ​@PlaChintW 

to Configure Database Connection in IFS Report Builder and this may also depend on your environment

  • IFS Report Builder uses JDBC to connect to Oracle databases. Follow these steps:

Option 1: Configure via IFS Report Builder UI

  1. Open IFS Report Builder and navigate to Data Source Configuration.
  2. Select Oracle Database as the data source type.
  3. Enter Connection Details:
    • JDBC URL:
      jdbc:oracle:thin:@//<hostname>:<port>/<service_name>
    • Username: Provide the Oracle DB user for IFS.
    • Password: Enter the user’s password.
    • Driver Class:
      oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
  4. Test the Connection to ensure proper configuration.
  5. Save Settings and apply changes.

 

Option 2: Manually Configure the Configuration File

If configuring via the UI is not possible, you can manually edit the Report Builder Configuration File.

  1. Locate the configuration file, usually found in:
    <IFS_Report_Builder_Installation_Path>/config/reportbuilder.properties
  2. Open the file in a text editor and modify the following parameters:
    db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//dbserver.company.com:1521/IFSDB db.username=IFS_REPORT_USER db.password=your_secure_password db.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
  3. Save and restart IFS Report Builder.
