Infor Birst (JDBC)

Interact Advanced Analytics uses the AWS Data Lake technologies to power the data querying, analysis, and retrieval. To connect Infor Birst to Interact's Advanced Analytics Solution, you will need:

  • Infor Birst
  • AWS Athena JDBC Driver

The setup largely mimics the steps outlined in the JDBC Connectivity page, as this covers the in-depth JDBC configuration steps.

The Infor Birst AWS Athena setup is documented in quite a lot of detail on this page.

The only thing which is not covered in the Infor Birst AWS Athena documentation is setting the Workgroup setting which is a requirement for Interact Advanced Analytics.

Full documentation on the AWS Athena JDBC Configuration can be found here (including the Workgroup setting.)

Workgroup specifically can be found on page 104.
