Hello

I am new to IFS and the Business Reporter Application. 

I have not been able to import data from our Oracle Database (SQL), using the usual ‘Get Data’ option that is available in Business Reporter.  The connection timed out while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. 

The server I am trying to connect to , works fine and is available when other people try to access it, so the issue is only between Business Reporter and the database.

I have checked the following and can confirm that everything is correctly set up and works correctly:

Username and Password

Server details and portal number

My access permissions

 

Has anyone encountered this before and is there an easy way to resolve this issue?

Thanks Thiwanka.

My issue is more related to adding data to the existing data sources in Business Reporter. The data sources that are currently available in BR, does not cover all the data I need to build my report.
