Define the JDBC driver path


Overview

Each WebSphere Commerce node that has servers that are part of the cluster must have the JDBC provider information defined. The JDBC provider software is included with the database client software installed on each node.

When WebSphere Commerce creates a new instance this information is defined at the node level. When configuring a cluster, each node that has a new cluster member must be configured to reference the appropriate JDBC provider.

You are not required to complete these steps on the node where you originally installed WebSphere Commerce.
