Hi Shobhendra,
The simplest way is to use Visual admin. For that , do the following
1.Run Go.bat in the server to open Visual Admin.
2.Select Cluster->JDBC Connector
3.In Runtime, Create a driver of any name(Say mydriv). Select classes12.jar for that
4.Create a new datasource(Say myDS). There specify the
driver class as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
database url as jdbc:oracle:thin@IPADDRESS OF ORACLE SERVER:PORT:SID
driver as mydriv
The PORT will usually be 1527 or 1521.
For IPADDRESS, PORT and SID, u have to contact db admin
5. In additional , select Vendor or Native SQL
6. Test the connection using Monitoring tab. If green line is coming, then connection is successful, otherwise, the parametes u used will be incorrect
7.In ur webdynpro code, inorder to get the Connection to oracle, add the following
InitialContext ctx=new InitialContext();
DataSource ds=(DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/myDS");
Connection con=ds.getConnection();
8. Press CTRLSHIFTO
