Copy the JDBC driver files to the proper directory in PowerServer. The directory varies with the type of application server that PowerServer is installed to, as shown in the table below.
Table 12. Copy drivers to PowerServer
Server Type |
Directory for Storing JDBC Files |
---|---|
WebLogic |
It can be any directory, but the directory path and name must be added in the ClassPath variable of the startWebLogic.cmd (Windows) or startWebLogic.sh (Unix\Linux) file. If the directory is %WL_HOME%\server\lib folder (Windows) or $WL_HOME/server/lib (Unix\Linux), where %WL_HOME% is the installation folder of the WebLogic server (for example, C:\bea\weblogic81\), it is unnecessary to update the ClassPath variable. |
WebSphere |
For Windows: %WAS_HOME%\lib (%WAS_HOME% is the installation folder of the WebSphere server) For Unix\Linux: $WAS_HOME/lib |
JBoss |
For Windows: %JBOSS_HOME%\server\instance\lib (%JBOSS_HOME% indicates the WildFly or JBoss EAP installation path) For Unix\Linux: $JBOSS_HOME/server/instance/lib |
JEUS |
For Windows: %JEUS_HOME%\lib\datasource (%JEUS_HOME% indicates the JEUS installation path) For Unix\Linux: $JEUS_HOME/lib/datasource |
Important Note: Remember to restart PowerServer after copying files.
