Is there is a way to connect JDBC with PowerBI Desktop?

[Harshal_Tekade]

We are using a 3rd party connector by Progress (link as given below) to connect the database using JDBC through the ODBC bridge.

https://www.progress.com/tutorials/jdbc/use-your-custom-jdbc-driver-with-microsoft-power-bi 

But we are stuck at Step 7 where we need to have both of these services SLAgent60 and SLSocketJDBC60 to be active and running, but we are not able to run the service SLSocketJDBC60. 

We are not able to find a solution to this. 

Does anybody have any alternate solution for this?

Can anyone help, please?

Have you tried ZappySys JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver ? It doesn't need any agent service running like other 3rd party option you mentioned.

Just point to Jar configure options as per your Jdbc driver requirements and connect Java driver in any ODBC apps like Power BI, Excel, MS Access, Informatica...

I'm stuck at the same step, did you ever find a solution for this?

Hi @Harshal_Tekade 

I am also stuck at Step 7. Do we have any solution for this?

Hi @Harshal_Tekade 

I'm not the expert of creating custom JDBC driver for Progress, please contact with the support from Progress.

Maybe there is something wrong when doing step 6, please check it.

Connect to data by using Power BI Desktop generic interfaces.
