Upgrading a Third-party JDBC Driver Using the GUI

When a JDBC driver configured using TIBCO Configuration Tool has an update, the updated driver must be added to Administrator.

1. Configure the new third-party JDBC driver in TIBCO_HOME using the "Configure Third-Party Driver" wizard of the TIBCO Configuration Tool (TCT).
2. Put a file at a special location in the feature's path with the driver name and version.
3. Add the feature to the node. See Adding a Feature to a Node.
4. Delete the resource instances that use this driver and re-create resource templates.
5. Remove the old driver from all these nodes. See Removing Features from a Node.
6. Choose one of the following options:
   • Reinstall all the resource instances created in Step 4. While reinstalling the resource instances you will be prompted to choose the driver feature.
   • Add the feature for the new driver. See Adding a Feature to a Node. Reinstall all the resource instances created in In Software Management, enable the new driver feature on all the nodes and then reinstall all the resource instances.
