Obtaining the JDBC Drivers

Based on the database being used on your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server, you should obtain the required java-based JDBC driver files from your database vendor. Access the current Minimum Technical Requirement (MTR) listing from My Oracle Support for the proper JDBC driver files to obtain. For help with locating MTRs, refer to Accessing Certifications. Place the driver files in the location specified in the section of this guide entitled: Copying the JDBC Drivers to the Deployment Server.

In addition, for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Release 9.2, all installations of the Oracle database on the Deployment Server require a driver for local database connectivity on the Deployment Server (required to build and deploy ESUs) and to perform installations of the Development Client). You can locate the Oracle database driver in these locations:

  • Oracle Enterprise Edition Database (on your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise or Database Server)

    Your installation of an Oracle 12c database product includes the Oracle JDBC driver(s). Typically the driver is located in this directory of your Oracle 12c installation:

    \jdbc\lib

  • Oracle Technology Network (OTN)

    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html

You cannot have multiple Oracle JDBC driver files (such as ojdbc.jar, ojdbc5.jar and ojdbc7.jar) in the same folder (\misc) or else the drivers will conflict, which will cause access failure to the Oracle database on your Enterprise Server. The Oracle JDBC driver (for example, ojdbc7.jar) is added to the \misc folder by the Deployment Server installer.

Note: You must manually copy the driver files from the installed location to the location specified in the section of this guide entitled: Copying the JDBC Drivers to the Deployment Server.
