Copying the MongoDB JDBC library

We will be using some scripting in these recipes, so it's important to make sure that we have the MongoDB JDBC library copied to the correct location in the Pentaho Report Designer.

Getting ready

Make sure you have access to the filesystem from which you will be running the Pentaho Report Designer.

How to do it…

In this section, we will be copying a select number of libraries that will allow us to make sure that the Pentaho Report Designer can connect to MongoDB. Without these libraries we will be unable to complete the recipes in this chapter:
