Missingdriverfile.
ThiserrorisreallycommonforpeoplejustgettingstartedwithPDI.
Driversgoin\pentaho\designtools\dataintegration\libext\JDBCforPDI.Ifyouareusingother
toolsinthePentahosuite,youmayneedtocopydriverstoadditionallocationsforthosetools.
Forreference,herearetheappropriatefoldersforsomeoftheotherdesigntools:
AggregationDesigner:\pentaho\designtools\aggregationdesigner\drivers
MetadataEditor:\pentaho\designtools\metadataeditor\libext\JDBC
ReportDesigner:\pentaho\designtools\reportdesigner\lib\jdbc
SchemaWorkbench:\pentaho\designtools\schemaworkbench\drivers
Ifthistransformationorjobwillrunonanotherbox,suchasatestorproductionserver,don't
forgettoincludecopyingthejarfileandrestartingPDIortheDataIntegrationServerinyour
deploymentconsiderations.
