External database configuration

If this instance is to connect to an external database, you must ensure that the driver files for the type of the external database are available to Pega Platform :

  1. Make sure the appropriate driver JAR file in on the Java class path, for example ojdbc6.jar for Oracle, sqljdbc4.jar for MS SQL, or db2jcc.jar for Db2. See your database vendor documentation to confirm the appropriate driver file.
  2. Add the database/drivers setting to the prconfig.xml file. The driver cannot be specified using a dynamic system setting. The value for the setting is a semicolon-separated list (separated by ";") of driver Java class names.
