Define a New JDBC Connection to MYOB AccountRight Data

1. If you have not already done so, install the Report Designer extension: Click File -> Install KNIME Extensions, and filter on "Report".
2. In a new workflow, click File -> Preferences and expand the KNIME -> Database Driver nodes to add cdata.jdbc.myob.jar. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
3. In the Node Repository view, expand the Database node and drag a Database Reader onto the workflow editor.

4. Double-click the Database Reader and set the following properties:

   • Database Driver: In the menu, select the CData JDBC driver.
   • Database URL: Enter the connection properties. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:myob: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     These properties are required when connecting to a company file (both for Cloud and On-Premise instances).

     • CompanyFileId: You can find this by starting MYOB, opening your data file, and selecting Help -> About MYOB
     • User: The username associated with your company file.
     • Password: The password associated with your company file.

     Connecting to a Cloud Instance

     To connect to a cloud instance of MYOB, you can use the embedded OAuth credentials or create an OAuth app with MYOB. This process is detailed in the Help documentation.

     Connecting to an On-Premise instance:

     When connecting to an on-premise instance, you will need to set the following connection property in addition to those above:

     • InitiateOauth: Set this to OFF.
     • Url: The Url of your MYOB instance.

     A typical JDBC URL is below. jdbc:myob:OAuthClientId=YourClientId; OAuthClientSecret=YourClientSecret; CompanyFileId=yourCompanyFileId; CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333; User=companyFileUser; Password=companyFilePassword;

   • User Name: The username used to authenticate.
   • Password: The password used to authenticate.
   • SQL Statement: Enter an SQL query in the SQL Statement box or double-click a table. This article uses the query below to create a chart: SELECT Id, Name FROM Accounts WHERE Type = 'Bank'

5. Test the connection by clicking Fetch Metadata.

   
6. Connect the Database Reader to a Data to Report node to supply the dataset to a range of data visualization controls. Click Execute and then click Edit Report at the top of the workflow to open the report designer perspective.
7. You can now generate reports based on live data. To create a chart, drag the chart control from the palette to the report designer. In the resulting wizard, you can use the filtering and aggregation controls available in KNIME.
