Adding external software dependencies on the server

The adapter needs certain files installed on IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus server to be able to communicate with the Oracle database.

To obtain the required files and copy them to IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, use the following procedure.

An adapter needs the Oracle JDBC driver-specific files to be able to communicate with it.


Procedure

  1. Obtain the Oracle JDBC driver-specific files or native libraries for your database software and operating system from your database administrator or from the database software Website

    The following table lists the Oracle JDBC driver files needed for Oracle database software.

    Oracle JDBC driver files for Oracle database software
    Database software Driver JDBC driver files Native System Libraries
    Oracle Thin driver ojdbc6.jar or ojdbc14.jar depending on the JRE version None

    The JRE version required by the Oracle JDBC driver must not be higher than the JRE version in the runtime environment.

    For example, if the JRE version is 1.5 in the runtime environment, then the Oracle JDBC Driver should be "ojdbc14.jar" which supports both Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4 and JDK 1.5; if the JRE version is 1.6 in the runtime environment, then the Oracle JDBC Driver should be "ojdbc6.jar" which supports JDK version 1.6.

  2. Copy the files to the server.

    • In a testing environment in IBM Integration Designer, copy the files to the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/runtimes/bi_v7/lib/ext directory.

    • In a production environment, copy the files to the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/lib/ext directory of IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.
