This topic describes how to enable an Oracle database prior to adding Oracle as a data source.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Place the Oracle client driver JAR, ojdb8.jar, in the following locations:
    <installation directory>/shared/ALPINE_DATA_REPOSITORY/jdbc_driver/
    <installation directory>/shared/ALPINE_DATA_REPOSITORY/jdbc_driver/Public
    <installation directory>/shared/libraries

    chown chorus:chorus ojdbc8.jar
  3. Set oracle.enabled to true in the chorus.properties file and restart Team Studio.
