Can I connect to Microsoft SharePoint?
Answered
Is it possible from either 6.x or 7.x to connect to Microsoft's SharePoint? We're collecting certain data in SP and want to create a couple of simple bar charts in Yellowfin. If it's possible, what are the implications/complications if it's SharePoint 365?
The same question
Hi Jordan,
I haven't heard of many customers doing this, but evidently there is a SharePoint JDBC driver that can be purchased and downloaded from CDATA: http://www.cdata.com/drivers/sharepoint/download/jdbc/
According to CDATA, this driver can be used to connect to SharePoint via DbVisualizer, and if that's the case, Yellowfin should be able to connect as well.
If you are using 7.2, you could use the new plugin manager to add this driver for use. Alternatively this could be manually added as outlined in the below forum post:

Anyway, let us know if this information helps or if you run into any troubles. I look forward to hearing back.
Kind Regards,
Dustin
