Connect to a JDBC Data Source

You can connect your Team Studio installation to a JDBC data source.

Perform this task on the computer where Team Studio is installed.

Prerequisites

  • Check System Requirements to ensure you are using a supported version of the JDBC data source.
  • You must have write access to the computer where Team Studio server is installed.
  • Before you add a JDBC data source to Team Studio, place the associated JDBC driver for the data source in the $CHORUS_HOME/shared/ALPINE_DATA_REPOSITORY/jdbc_driver/Public and $CHORUS_HOME/shared/libraries folders

Procedure

  1. Open the Add Data Source dialog box.


  2. For Data Source Name, provide a user-facing name.
    You can provide any useful text.
  3. Optional: Provide a useful Description.
  4. For JDBC URL, provide the JDBC URL used to connect to the data source.
  5. Provide the Database Account and Database Password.

    These values are your database credentials.

  6. Optional: Select Set database credentials as a shared account if you intend to allow all users to access the data source without using their own credentials.

    Users access the database with your credentials as the data source owner. If you do not select this check box, each user must provide credentials for that data source to access it. You can check the box later if you change your mind.
