I am trying to connect to a database but it's not working. I downloaded the mysql connector (sqljdbc42.jar) and I put it in the tomcat/lib folder. The configuration is like this:
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc:mysql:/ip:3306/thingworx?user=x&password=x
Do you know how to fix this? Thankyou!

HI @BSUN_RO , Which documentation you are following ?. Have you tried https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS243088
Hi @BSUN_RO , First you need to check the connectivity between platform and the database server . Try ping to database ip from platform server . If that got success check for error logs in Application.logs in ThingworxStorage/logs folder
Thankyou, I didnt knew about this logs. I found this error:
ERROR starting: JDBC Driver Class Not Found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Do I need to rename the jar file to "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" ?

Hi @anarwal , I didn't knew about this guide, I am trying to follow it now and I will tell you if it works. Thankyou very much !
Do you know where is "JdbcCreator mashup" ? I can't find it.
I am a little confused because I learned that Mashup is under 'Vizualization' and is used to display data.
Hello @BSUN_RO ,
Maybe the extension has not been updated in a while and the driver is old.
There is a thread about packaging a new jdbc driver.

Hope it helps,
Should there be a button "JdbcCreator" ?
I've managed to import the extension. I was using the wrong driver.
