The following steps are applicable when using an Oracle database. For configuration of Oracle RAC, skip to Oracle RAC Connection.
- Go to the Oracle JDBC driver download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html. - Download the JDBC driver (
ojdbc<version>.jar
) for Oracle database version 12.1. This driver also works with Oracle database version 11.2. - Store the JDBC driver in a directory that is available on the Platform Container host.
If you are using Oracle 12, it is recommended that you set the property jvmargs.args
to -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom
for all pico instances that are expected to open connections towards Oracle. The jdbc driver has performance using /dev/urandom
.
