    Hi Team - Need your assistance to Create a New Data Source of Cognos Version 10.2.1 with Maria DB, as Maria DB is not listed while trying to select with the Drop down list.

    Thanks.

    MariaDB has an ODBC connector. Download and install that on all of your dispatchers.

    Next, follow the instructions on this page: https://www.datamensional.com/using-mysql-or-other-odbc-connections-with-cognos/

    Support for MariaDB (integrated and regularly tested) started in ~11.0.5 where Dynamic Query is required, and connections would use MariaDB J/Connect.

    If you are using Compatibility Query mode, and using ODBC, while it may work, MariaDB/MariaDB ODBC was never integrated/tested.

    The most recent releases of MariaDB server/MariaDB J/Connect which have been reviewed listed here:

    Hi Team - We have Cognos 10.2.1 version on AIX, any guide line highly appreciated, while trying to Connect receiving this error.

    Hi Hashim,

    You probably need to read this part of the documentation:
    Java Database Connectivity drivers

    You need to restart Cognos with Cognos Configuration.

    If it is not working, you should create a new original thread for this issue.

    Best regards,
