Overview

CDATA (Character Data) is used in the markup languages SGML and XML. A CDATA section is an alternative syntax for expressing character data. 


Here are the steps to install a CDATA connector in Yellowfin.

In this example, Yellowfin is running on a Windows Server and we are using the CDATA Jira Connector. 

The two primary steps involved are as follows:

  1. Download the CDATA driver and add it to your Yellowfin installation folder.
  2. Create a new data source connection to your Jira environment within Yellowfin - after which you can create a View against the Jira data source and build reports in the normal way in Yellowfin.

Download CDATA Jira driver and add it to your Yellowfin installation


  1. Download the JDBC driver from the CDATA website. In our example we are using the Jira connector from the following URL: https://www.cdata.com/drivers/jira/download/jdbc/
  2. Run the .exe file. This step will install the drivers to a specified location. Follow the prompts and specify the folder where you want to install the driver.
