Portal V7.0 stand-alone: Connecting to database domains


WebSphere Portal v8.0 requires that we use spec 4-compliant JDBC drivers. Follow these instructions to update the drivers as needed and to connect to the database domains.

Run these steps on each node (primary and secondary) of the target portal.

  1. Update the database driver information in...

      WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc_dbtype.properties

  2. Verify the database uses spec 4-compliant drivers:

      cd WP_PROFILE\ConfigEngine
      ./ConfigEngine.sh validate-database

  3. Also from the primary node only, connect to the database domains:

      cd WP_PROFILE\ConfigEngine
      ./ConfigEngine.sh connect-database
