Use a generic JDBC source connection to connect to a source database through a generic JDBC driver.
To use a generic JDBC source connection, such as a MySQL database, you must first upload the JDBC driver JAR file. When you upload the JAR file, Data Archive copies it to the following directories:
Data Archive prefixes the JAR file name with "zz_." For example, if you upload a driver file named GenJdbc.jar, Data Archive names the file zz_GenJdbc.jar in the
lib
directories. Data Archive signs the JAR file in the
…\edm\lib
directory.
Data Archive also adds the driver location to the classpath. For the classpath changes to take effect, you must restart the ILM application server on the machine that hosts Data Archive.
After you restart the ILM application server, create the source connection and specify the connection properties.
