iDashboards is able to connect to Service Now Digital Workflows with a SQLite database using a JDBC driver. A JDBC driver is a software component enabling a Java application to interact with a database. To connect with individual databases, JDBC (Java Database Connectivity API) requires specific drivers for each database. The JDBC driver gives out the connection to the database and implements the protocol for transferring the query and result between the client and the database. iDashboards implements native protocols and does not require additional software installed on the driver host. In other words, iDashboards provides driver connectivity with the JDBC Data Source via the specified driver. This document gives a step-by-step procedure to install the JDBC driver and make the connection to your SQLite database.
Driver Installation
Install the ServiceNow JDBC driver from Unity on to the iDashboards server.
- Download the latest version of the SQLite JDBC driver:
- The driver will be a .JAR file. which you will copy to the following location:
- <iDashboards Installation Directory>/ivizgroup/drivers folder
- Restart the iDashboards service (iDashboardsSRV)
Data Connection
Once you have installed the ServiceNow JDBC driver you can add this connection as a data source in iDashboards. The following steps will walk you through the process.
