KettleDatabaseException - Invalid URL when trying to connect to Sybase

Hi all

I've been googling for around 5 hours now and I can't figure out why none of my both created DB connections to Sybase ASE 15 is not working.


1. Using the jconn3.jar (from Jconnect Sybase) which I put at \biserver-ce\tomcat\lib (Windows 7 environment)

URL jdbc:sybase:Tds:host:port (I also tried jdbc:sybase:Tds:host:port/dbname)
Class Name: com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver
Username: sa
Password: password

Error Message:
Error connecting to DB using class com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver
Invalid URL: jdbc:sybase:Tds:host:port

I made a telnet on host port and it worked, so it can't be a network problem.


2nd try with jtds-1.3.1.jar

URL: jdbc:jtds:sybase://host:port/dbname
Class name: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
Username: sa
password: password

Error Message, the same as above:
Error connecting to DB using class net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
Invalid URL: jdbc:jtds:sybase://host:port/dbname


Another DB connection to a mysql DB works great.

I would appreciate any kind of help provided on this topic!
