Step: Create the JDBC connection in the web application server

The Marketing Platform web application must be able to communicate with its system table database using a JDBC connection. You must create this JDBC connection in the web application server where you plan to deploy the Marketing Platform.

In WebSphere, set the classpath for your database driver during this process.

You must use UnicaPlatformDS as the JNDI name. This is required, and is noted in the Marketing Platform database information checklist.

When the Marketing Platform system tables are created in a different schema from the default schema of the database login user, you must specify that non-default schema name in the JDBC connection used to access the system tables.
