Connect to Biginsight from desktop RStudio

Hello,

I triy to connect to Biginsight from desktop RStudio. I follow these instructions: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/a4hblogs/entry/how_to_connect_to_analytics_for_hadoop_bigr_from_local_rstudio?lang=en

Unfortunatelly I can't do the 6. steps. In Biginsight the connection works but in Rstudio doesn't. My parameteres are:

bigr.connect(host="bi-hadoop-prod-365.services.dal.bluemix.net", 7052, "default", user="biblumix", password="xxmypasswordxx")
Error: BigR[bigr.connect]: Connection could not be established. Verify connection parameters.

What could be wrong?

Thanks!

    Try stoping and restarting the BIg SQL scheduler on the big insights cluster tab. I had the same issue and this worked.

    It takes several minutes for the service to get back up and running after stopping. Make sure it is running before trying to connect through R Studio.

    Hi Melinda, I was able to connect to your cluster from local RStudio. Make sure you enter the correct biblumix password from your A4H service page.
    > library(bigr)
    Loading required package: rJava
    > bigr.connect(host="bi-hadoop-prod-365.services.dal.bluemix.net", 7052, "default", user="biblumix", password="ReplaceWithBiblumixPasswordOnA4HPage")
    > is.bigr.connected()
    [1] TRUE

    Hi Melinda, Can you please try these steps :
    1. Make sure Oracle Java 7 is set in your JAVA_HOME and path. What Java version do you use ? Please try with Oracle Java 7. Also , ensure that its 64 bit or 32 bit Java pertaining to your environment. As the stackoverflow link states , you can set JAVA_HOME inside R in the following way
    Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\")
    Or
    options(java.home="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\")
    library(rJava)
    2. One more thing : please make sure the underlying R in your environment is either 32 bit or 64 bit and not both. If you have installed for both, uninstall R and then re-install only one.
    Hope this helps and let me know .
