Cannot connect to Talend Admin database in TAC Database config screen new install to Talend 8

[roger_baker]

In Talend 8 install , when configuring TAC database configuration screen , get the error

Cannot connect to database (javax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter)

when trying to connect to Talend_Admin database. Screenshot attached.

MSSQL 2019 is sql server version.

Any Ideas?

I believe that the solution to this is to download the latest JDBC driver for MS SQL Server from here....

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sql/connect/jdbc/download-microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16

Then you need to extract the mssql-jdbc-11.2.0.jre11.jar file and copy it to the tomcat/lib folder of your installation.

Make sure you are using Java v11.

The solution worked for me thanks to the community and the members for the solution.
