Enabling multi-driver support

For OS/400, the JDBC driver is shipped with the OS/400 operating system Toolbox for Java. This is the only driver required for multi-driver support.

You can specify the driver by doing the following:

  1. Install the driver on your machine.
  2. Put all dynamic libraries that the connector requires at runtime in the connectors/JDBC directory under the product directory.
  3. Edit the connector's start file to include all relevant class pathnames (including license information if required) in the JDBCDRIVERPATH variable.
  4. Specify a value for the JDBCDriverClass configuration property.
    Note:
    For all features that it supports, the connector can operate with any driver that follows the JDBC 2.0 or above specification. If the driver does not support a particular feature, the connector does not function properly. For example, if the driver does not support all method calls used by JDBCODA, the JDBCODA log indicates the process that the driver does not support. In such a case, you must use a different driver.
