Information for creating JDBC connections

Use default values when you create JDBC connections if specific values are not provided. For more information, see the application server documentation.

Note: If you are not using the default port setting for your database, make sure that you change it to the correct value.

WebLogic

Use the following values if your application server is WebLogic:

SQLServer

  • Database Driver: Microsoft™ MS SQL Server Driver (Type 4) Versions: 2012, 2012 SP1 and SP3, 2014, 2014 SP1, 2016 SP1

  • Default port: 1433

  • Driver class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

  • Driver class: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

  • Driver URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@<your_db_host>:<your_db_port>:<your_db_service_name>

    Enter the driver URL by using the format that is shown. Unica applications do not allow the use of Oracle's RAC (Real Application Cluster) format for JDBC connections.

  • Properties: Add user=<your_db_user_name>

DB2®

  • Driver: Other

  • Default port: 50000

  • Driver class: com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver

MariaDB

  • Database type: MYSQL
  • Driver: mariadb-java-client-2.5.1.jar
  • Default port: 3306
  • Driver class: org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver
  • Driver URL: jdbc:mariadb://<your_db_host>:<PORT>/<Your_DB_user_name>

  • Password=<your_db_user_password>

WebSphere®

Use the following values if your application server is WebSphere®:

SQLServer

  • Driver: N/A

  • Default port: 1433

  • Driver class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnectionPoolDataSource

  • Driver URL: jdbc:sqlserver://<DBhostName>:1433;databaseName=<DBName>

In the Database Type field, select User-defined.

After you create the JDBC Provider and data source, navigate to the Custom Properties for the data source, and add or modify properties as follows.

  • serverName=<your_SQL_server_name>
  • portNumber =<SQL_Server_Port_Number>
  • databaseName=<your_database_name>
Add the following custom properties.

  • Name: webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel

  • Value: 1

  • Datatype: Integer

Oracle

  • Driver: Oracle JDBC Driver

  • Default port: 1521

  • Driver class: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

  • Driver URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@<your_db_host>:<your_db_port>:<your_db_service_name>

    Enter the driver URL by using the format that is shown. Unica applications do not allow the use of Oracle's RAC (Real Application Cluster) format for JDBC connections.

DB2®

  • Driver: JCC Driver Provider

  • Default port: 50000

  • Driver class: com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver

  • Driver URL: jdbc:db2://<your_db_host>:<your_db_port>/<your_db_name>

To add the custom properties, complete the following steps.
  1. Click the data source that you created. Go to the Custom Properties for the data source.
  2. Select the Custom properties link.
  3. Set the value for the resultSetHoldability property to 1. If you do not see the resultSetHoldability property, create the resultSetHoldability property and set its value to 1.
  4. Set the value for the webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel property to 2. If you do not see the webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel property, create the webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel property and set its value to 2.
The following are the custom properties.

  • Name: webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel

  • Value: 2

  • Datatype: Integer

MariaDB

  • Database type: User_define
  • Implementation class name = org.mariadb.jdbc.MySQLDataSource

  • Mapping-configuration alias = WSLogin
  • portNumber = 3306
  • relaxAutoCommit=true
  • databaseName = <DATABASE NAME>
  • serverName = the host name of the MariaDB server
