Installing addtional JDBC drivers

Anyone knows where to add third-party JDBC drivers to Toplink?

Hello,
If you are referring to the mapping workbench, edit the workbench.cmd file and add your driver to its startup classpath.
In the MW, you'll have to manually type the name of the JDBC driver, it won't be added to the drop-down list.

Installing the jdbc drivers

Hello Guys:
I am new to Oracle Application DBA stuff and here is what I have to do now.
I need to install the jdbc drivers in our oracle financials UAT.
Here is what I heard from our Oracle support:
ANSWER
======
The Patch #4159795 status is Deleted, indicates that the patch has been deleted from the patch repository. This usually occurs when the patch has been obsoleted.
However, this bug (BUG:4159795) has been fixed in version 10.2 which means it's solved in the latest releases.
The JDBC drivers are certified to work with the currently supported versions of the Oracle Database. For example, the JDBC Thin drivers in Oracle Database 10g a re certified to work with the 9.2.x, 9.0.1.x, and 8.1.7 Oracle Database releases.
However, they are not certified to work with older, unsupported database releases, such as 8.0.x and 7.x.

Now please tell me what needs to be done. Should i install this on the application server or on the database server. If any one could give me a heads or give me pointers to documents it will be great.

Bala

If you are using Oracle 11i, the JDBC drivers are normally upgraded via a patch during a JDK upgrade (1.3.1, or 1.4.2, or 1.5.0). I am pretty sure the note referenced by the analyst has no relevance to Oracle EBS.

How to install downloaded JDBC drivers?

I have downloaded jdbc80520-nt.zip. Do I just extract the
contents to a folder and put that in my classpath or should I be
using the Oracle installer (if so there is no .PRD file).
Also if I am using the Thin JDBC how do I know that Oracle has a
Java client listener started?
Thanks,
Colman

guess you should check out the documentation at
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm
what i do, is copy the class files [Oracle]with the same
structure into the rt.jar file, which is the runtime file which
contains java classes for the jre to execute..
solves the problem, but still a round about way... there should
be some simple way to install the driver and connect to
oracle from java.
again depends on what is connecting to the database..
if its an applet then you have to package a thin driver
to be downloaded on the client machine, and you need to sign
the applet [if the database is on a different machine other
than the webserver].
or if its a servlet, then the java runtime should have
access to the oracle/jdbc... classes..
not great help, i guess..

Installing Oracle JDBC to Apache

I am attempting to install the oracle jdbc to my Apache server. I put the zip files into my PATH and reboot the box. When I try to open a JDBC connection in JSP I get the following error.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
It looks like it can't see the zip file classes. Does anyone have exact instructions on how to install the jdbc drivers?

However, jakarta-tomcat does. And to get that to work you have to put the jar file into the correct directory. It is not possible to set the class path for this. In addition it must be a jar file. Which if you are using the Oracle zip file means you must rename it.

Appropriate JDBC drivers for 7.0 version and SP16

Hi all
we are using XI 7.0 SP 16.
what type/verion of JDBC drivers should be used for database connectivity?
while i was going through "How to install external JDBC Drivers" it was suggesting to use
Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g:
ojdbc14.jar
u2022 Microsoft SQL Server:
msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar
(in screen shots as well it was showing he was using msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar and ojdbc14.jar)
should we use both ojdbc14.jar and msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar or else one of them would be sufficient?
Is OJDBC a type 4 and type 2 driver?
Full Points are guaranteed
Regards
Bhasker

Hi,
You have to use ojdbc14.jar or classes12.zip/.jar for Oracle and msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar for Microsoft SQL Server. Thus both are required to be deployed on J2EE server.
And Oracle JDBC is a type 4 driver.

Should i need to install JDBC Drivers?

Hi,
I am new to primavera database.
Now i need to develop RFC's to JDBC Scenario using PI7.1, should i need to install JDBC Driver to up date the data in primavera database.
thanks,
snr.

Hi,
JDBC drivers are needed to establish the connection to database using JDBC adater but not operations...
if your database provider classes are not installed in the PI system then you need to install the same...
check the connection using test if not sure about this but need to install the ear file provided as per note 1085539

How to view JDBC drivers installed?

Hi,
How could I see in XI which JDBC drivers are currently installed on the system.
I have an XI user with, if I don't go wrong, all the privilegies, but no access to the installed OS.
Thanks in adv. for your suggestions.
Cheers,
greg

Hello Greg,
The SDA has now been deployed in the J2EE serveru2019s file system. You can verify this by inspecting the directory
/usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<SYSNO>/j2ee/cluster/server0/bin/ext/com.sap.aii.af.jmsproviderlib, where you will find
all JAR files you previously added to the SDA.

How can I install JDBC drivers for Oracle?!?....

i have a program that has this line:
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
that gives this error when I compile it:
package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
So I think I need to install JDBC drivers for Oracle. (?)
I went here: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_111060.html]
and downloaded the files for JDBC Thin.
Then I followed this: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/111070_readme.html]
by entering these commands (I'm using Ubuntu):
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/ojdbc6.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/orai18n.jar
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/files
When I type echo $CLASSPATH I can see that those commands worked, but it hasn't made any difference when I try to compile.
I still get the same error. Is it because I didn't do anything about the .so files? The readme page didn't mention them in the installation section.
Please help! I am so stuck...

I don't think you need the shared libraries (.so files) and given what I saw when I glanced at those pages, I don't think they'd even work for you, although maybe I just didn't read enough of it.
What happens when you type
javap oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceon the command line?
How are you invoking javac? Are you perhaps passing a classpath argument?
Are you sure that the path to the jar files is correct? Are the paths relative?

Installing ODBC and JDBC drivers

I have recently downloaded JDBC drivers from the Oracle driver download page.
How do I install them?

JDBC drivers aren't generally "installed" in the standard sense. They're just JAR files-- you put them in your CLASSPATH and you're done.
For ODBC drivers, you need to install the Oracle client, then you can use the Oracle Universal Installer that's part of the client install to install the latest ODBC driver patchset.

How do you install the JDBC-OCI patch for a Windows NT4 IFS Installation?

I am about to install IFS on a Windows NT4 Server. I dont understand the instructions for installing the JDBC-OCI patch.
How do you install the JDBC-OCI drivers?
Do I install them after installing Oracle 8.1.6? and before installing IFS?
Is it necessary to install them?
I would be grateful for as much help as possible, I have never done anything like this before.

Program to list JDBC drivers

Hi everyone,
I use the following code to list JDBC drivers on my system.
private static void listDrivers() {
//Get all the JDBC drivers
Enumeration<Driver> driverList = DriverManager.getDrivers();
//print out all the drivers using a loop
while (driverList.hasMoreElements()) {
Driver jdbcDriver = (Driver)driverList.nextElement();
System.out.println("JDBC Driver: " + jdbcDriver);
It lists JDBC-ODBC bridge:
JDBC Driver: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver@19efb05
After I installed Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver. I ran the above program again. Expecting it would return this new driver as well. But, the output is still the same.
Why??? What did I do wrong? How do I get the program to list all the JDBC drivers on my system?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Where you went wrong was in assuming that just having a jar somewhere on your computer will automatically put it on the classpath of your little application.
Or maybe you went wrong in assuming that jdbc magically detects any jar anywhere on your computer that has a driver in it without being told where to look for that jar.Well, there's that. But, there is also the fact,OP, that the API docs says that the method getDrivers returns all currently loaded Drivers. In other words, OP, even if the jar is on your Classpath, getDrivers won't list it until you've done Class.forName("DriverClass") or DriverManager.registerDriver("DriverClass").
IOW, OP, read the API docs.
Edit: And, no, there is no Class/method (AFAIK) that will search your classpath for any/all possible Driver classes.

JDBC drivers for MSSQL 7.0

Hi,
We have installed JDBC drivers for MSSQL by following guide "how to install and configure a JMS and JDBC adapter" and they are "msutil.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msbase.jar". Our platform is NETweaver 2004s PI 7.0 on UNIX and Oracle.
The interfaces are working fine when we are sending data to MSSQL 2000, but when we are sending data to MSSQL 7.0, we are getting errors incompatible drivers.
Are there seperate drivers MSSQL 7.0 or we need to have different set of drives. Checked Note 639702 and as per note we should be able to find drivers installed on system at
- (NetWeaver 2004s:)
usr\sap\<SAPSID>\SYS\exe\<NUC|UC>\Platform\mssjdbc
I did not find the 'Platform' in my system at the above mentioned path.
Can anyone help us with this issue.
Thank You,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
As I know, there is no JDBC driver MSSQL 7.0, so there is no direct way to get access to it.
But there is another way to do it if you have access to a MSSQL 2000 or above server.
In MSSQL 2000 you can create a linked server to the MSSQL 7.0, and then you can use XI to get access to MSSQL 7.0 tables.

I am now up and running. Several tips were found on both Adobe and Oracle sites that were helpful. Here is a brief summary of the steps:
Step 1, download* the Oracle Database11G release 2 Client for Microsoft Windows x64. (not the Instant Client). Follow the instructions provided on the download site. Select just the items you need from the custom install form.
Step 2, add your datasources using the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant**. Select Local Net Service Name Config. Follow the prompts, answer the questions.
Step 3, add your datasources on Windows 2008 Server with Administrative Tools Datasources. Similar to step 2.
Step 4, in CF10 Administrator set up your datasources. The first thing to do is set your Class Path to the location of the jdbc .jar files. When you configured the Oracle installation you specified the location of the files. Go there and look for the\jdbc\lib folder. It contains the jar files for your drivers. Example: C:\\Oracle\home\jdbc\lib\. Now add your datasources. Select Other from the drivers drop-down list. This may be the tricky part. You will need the database information for connecting, such as host name, port, user, password, etc. The connect url will look like: jdbc:oracle:thin@hostname:portnumber:servicename. Class: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver Name: whatever
* download from: oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
** This utility should be selected as an item to install from step 1.
