Users have been reporting problems with the copy and paste functions in their web browsers. To acquire a Virtual DBeaver account, CUL report users join the CUL-REPORT-USERS-L email list. To use Virtual DBeaver, CUL reporting users connect to the virtual environment with a web browser, enter the Virtual DBeaver URL, then log in using their standard SSO (Single Sign On) credentials: netid and password. This solution provides the reporting database with the fixed IP address that is required for secure connections. To address this, CIT and CUL Desktop Services have created a Virtual DBeaver environment using Windows Virtual Desktop for CUL reporting users. Most CUL reporting users are using an IP address that is dynamically assigned through a wi-fi router, so they are not connecting to the network using a fixed IP address. To meet security requirements for connections to the CUL reporting database, the connection must be made from a computer with a fixed IP address. DBeaver EE provides more advanced reporting features such as a Visual SQL Editor. DBeaver EE requires a license that is fee-based. DBeaver CE will meet the needs of most report users in the Cornell Library. DBeaver CE is free and provides users with the ability to run and build reports. DBeaver is available in 2 flavors: DBeaver Community Edition (CE) and DBeaver Enterprise Edition (EE). DBeaver is the primary reporting application recommended for using and building FOLIO reports to run against the CUL FOLIO LDP (Library Data Platform) reporting database.
