Configuring the web application server for your JDBC driver
Opportunity Detection requires the correct JAR file to support JDBC connections. You must add the location of the JAR file to the class path of the web application server where you plan to deploy Opportunity Detection.
Complete the following steps to configure the web application server for your JDBC driver:
1.
Obtain the latest vendor-provided Type 4 JDBC driver that is supported by IBM® EMM, as described in the Recommended Software Environments and Minimum System Requirements guide.
Use the following guidelines after you obtain the JDBC driver:
*
If the driver does not exist on the server where you plan to deploy Opportunity Detection, obtain it and unpack it on the server. Unpack the drivers in a path that does not include spaces.
*
If you obtain the driver from a server where the data source client is installed, verify that the version is the latest supported by Opportunity Detection.
The following table lists the driver file name or names for the databases that are supported for IBM® EMM system tables:
Database
Files
DB2®
db2jcc4.jar - required for V10.1
db2jcc_license_cu.jar - not required in V9.5 and higher
2.
Add the full path to the driver, including the file name, to the class path of the web application server where you plan to deploy Opportunity Detection.
According to the web application server where you plan to deploy Opportunity Detection, use the following guidelines:
*
For all supported versions of WebSphere®, set the class path when you set up the JDBC providers for Opportunity Detection.
3.
Make a note of the database driver class path in the Opportunity Detection installation worksheet, as you must enter the path when you run the installer.
4.
Restart the web application server so that your changes take effect.
During startup, monitor the console log to confirm that the class path contains the path to the database driver.
