Adding a Third-Party Driver to a Node

If the projects you created store data in a database, you should add a third-party driver to a node.

For detailed instructions, see the following sections:

•	Using TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT)

•	Adding a Third-Party Driver Manually

TCT only provides a set of database driver. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Servie Engine Installation for more details. If the Driver list does not show the driver you need, refer to Adding a Third-Party Driver Manually for details.

Using TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT)
