Database connectivity for the logging database

After you create a database for audit logs, additional steps are required to set up the database client if you use Oracle, IBM® Db2®, Informix® Dynamic Server as the database server.

In a distributed environment, the local log server on an Application Tier Component computer may send log messages to a remote log server, which then sends messages to the logging database. For Oracle, and Db2, the appropriate JDBC driver and/or database client software is required only on the Application Tier Components computer with the remote log server that connects to the logging database.

Microsoft SQL Server

If you use a Microsoft SQL Server database, the JSQLConnect.jar file is installed to the appropriate location by default. The only additional step is to ensure that the Microsoft SQL Server uses TCP/IP connectivity.
