Running Metabase application with DB2 driver plugin

First download Metabase .jar file here and run

java -jar metabase.jar

The plugins/ directory will be created. Drop the driver in your plugins/ directory and run metabase again. You can grab it here or build it yourself:

Building the DB2 Driver Yourself

Prerequisites

• Java JDK 11
• Node.js
• Clojure
• Yarn

Clone the Metabase project

Clone the Metabase repo first if you haven't already done so.

Inside /metabase_source run "clojure -X:deps prep" after clone or pull.

Clone the DB2 Metabase Driver

Clone this DB2 driver repo inside drivers modules folder /metabase_source/modules/drivers and rename this repo folder to 'db2' only.

Edit /metabase_source/modules/drivers/deps.edn and insert a db2 parameter, just like others: metabase/db2 {:local/root "db2"}.

Edit the driver as you want.

Compile the DB2 driver

Inside /metabase_source run

./bin/build-driver.sh db2

Copy it to your plugins dir

mkdir -p /path/to/metabase/plugins/
cp /metabase_source/resources/modules/db2.metabase-driver.jar /path/to/metabase/plugins/

Run Metabase

jar -jar /path/to/metabase/metabase.jar

Configurations

Run as follows to avoid the CharConversionException exceptions. In this way, JCC converts invalid characters to NULL instead of throwing exceptions:

java -Ddb2.jcc.charsetDecoderEncoder=3 -jar metabase.jar
