Set up database connectivity for an Oracle logging database

You must set up the JDBC driver on all Application Tier Components computers with a connection to the logging database. You must also set up the JDBC driver on the Content Manager computer, unless you are using the same type of database for the log messages as you use for the content store.

Procedure

  1. On the computer where the Oracle client is installed, go to the ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib directory.
  2. Copy the correct library file for your version of the Oracle client to the install_location\drivers directory on the computer where Content Manager is installed and where notification is sent to an Oracle database.

    If you are using Oracle version 12c Release 2, you must have the ojdbc8.jar.

    If you are using Oracle version 12c Release 1, you must have the ojdbc7.jar.

    If you are using Oracle version 11g Release 2, you must have the ojdbc6.jar.

    Note: For more information please refer to the Oracle JDBC FAQ.

    The files are available from an Oracle client or server install, and can also be downloaded from the Oracle technology Web site.
