Step-by-Step Instructions to Resolve Limited Column Retrieval
- Identify the Connector:
- Ensure you are using the correct connector for your Jira data source. In this case, the CData Jira ServiceDesk connector is used.
- Check JDBC String Parameters:
- Verify that the JDBC string parameters are correctly set. Specifically, ensure that the IncludeCustomFields parameter is set to true to ensure that custom fields columns are retrieved.
- Example JDBC string: jdbc:cdata:jira:URL=https://your-jira-instance;IncludeCustomFields=true;
- Review Connector Settings:
- Check the settings of the CData Jira ServiceDesk connector to ensure there are no configurations that limit the retrieval of custom columns.
- Refer to the CData documentation for more details: CData Jira JDBC Connection
- Verify Data Retrieval:
- After updating the JDBC string and reviewing the connector settings, re-run your data retrieval process to ensure that custom field columns are now being retrieved along with the native columns.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Verify Connector Compatibility:
- Ensure that the connector you are using is compatible with the version of Jira and Sisense you are running.
- Check for Updates:
- Make sure that both Sisense and the CData connector are up to date to avoid any compatibility issues.
- Consult Documentation:
- Refer to the official documentation for both Sisense and the CData connector for any additional configuration settings that might affect column retrieval.
