Worksheet for configuring the JDBC driver for the web application server

Work with your web application server administrator and Content Manager database server administrator to gather the information that you need to configure the JDBC driver so that the IBM CMIS for Content Manager web application can communicate with the Content Manager database. The IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool requires that you enter values that are prepared in advance. The worksheet is a useful place to put these values.

Print this worksheet and enter values as you prepare your installation.

Use this worksheet when you complete the following configuration and deployment task in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool:
  • Configure the JDBC Driver for Your Database
Table 1. Parameters required by the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool to configure the JDBC driver for the web application server
Parameter Description Value
Deployment type The type of environment where the web application is deployed. Valid values are:
Cluster
A highly available server cluster
Network Deployment
A WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment environment without a cluster
Standard
A stand-alone server
 
JDBC driver The JDBC driver that corresponds to the type of database where you store IBM Content Navigator configuration data.
IBM Content Navigator supports the following JDBC drivers:
  • DB2® Universal JDBC Driver
  • DB2 for z/OS® Universal JDBC Driver
  • DB2 Universal JDBC Driver (pureScale or HADR)
  • DB2 Universal JDBC Driver (SSL enabled)
  • Microsoft JDBC Driver
  • Microsoft JDBC Driver (SSL Enabled)
  • Oracle JDBC Driver
  • Oracle JDBC Driver (RAC support)
  • Oracle JDBC Driver (SSL enabled)
  • PostgreSQL JDBC Driver
  • PostgreSQL JDBC Driver (SSL enabled)
Remember: You must copy the JDBC driver for your database to the IBM Content Navigator server.
The JDBC driver
JDBC directory The directory where you installed the JDBC driver files on your IBM Content Navigator server.

If you plan to deploy IBM Content Navigator in a highly available cluster, you must copy the driver files to the same directory on each node in the cluster.

 
Application server node Standard and Network Deployment deployments only.

The node where the web application is deployed.

 
Application server name Standard and Network Deployment deployments only.

The server where the web application is deployed.

 
Application server cluster name Cluster deployments only.

The cluster where the web application is deployed.

 
JDBC configuration script The fully qualified path of the JDBC configuration script, setWSJDBCjars.tcl.
  • On AIX®, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/setWSJDBCjars.tcl.
  • On Linux®, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/setWSJDBCjars.tcl.
  • On Linux for System z®, the default directory is /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/scripts/setWSJDBCjars.tcl.
  • On Windows, the default directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\ECMClient\configure\scripts\setWSJDBCjars.tcl.
 
Temporary directory The fully qualified path to a temporary directory that the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool can use to run the task. You must have read and write access for the directory.

The default directory is the \configure\tmp subdirectory of the IBM Content Navigator installation directory.

It is recommended that you use the default value.
