Environment
Resolution
1. Download the latest JDBC driver bundle from Microsoft here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/download-microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15
In the download, there will be several drivers:
- mssql-jdbc-8.4.1.jre8.jar
- mssql-jdbc-8.4.1.jre11.jar
- mssql-jdbc-8.4.1.jre14.jar
2. Restart the Tibco Spotfire Statistics Services server.
