I'm trying to get Insights set up in our portal and I'm having trouble getting the db connections to work. I can't seem to find any logs or any detailed error messages. All I get is "New connections are not supported".

I have registered the sde connection with ArcGis Server. Portal can see it. ArcGis Pro can use it but I can't get past the first screen in Insights.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Hello Jordan,

Please make sure you have registered the JDBC drivers, as described here:  Required vendor files—Insights admin | Documentation 

Also the required privileges are described here:  Required database privileges—Insights admin | Documentation 

As an alternative to using the browser version of ArcGIS Insights, you can download and use Insights Desktop.  The Insights Desktop client application does not require the JDBC drivers to be configured.  Insights Desktop can be installed here, and works with your existing Insights licensing.

Thank you so much! That is a great lead. I did not register the JDBC drivers and I did not know about the desktop version. I will try both and report back.

That did the trick, thank you.

I zipped up ngdbc.jar, uploaded it to ArcGis server through /admin/upload

Registered it under data/relational

Then I was able to make the connections in Insights
