Preparations

A database driver is required to connect to an Oracle database. This driver must be stored in the Platform. Follow these if Oracle was not set up during the installation of the Platform:

1. Set up a persistent file system

2. Download the JDBC driver (ojdbc<version>.jar) for the appropriate Oracle database version. You can find it at Oracle.com.
   Eg https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/jdbc-downloads.html

3. Copy the JDBC driver to the $MZ_HOME/persistent/3pp folder on the plaform-0 pod. Eg:
   $ kubectl cp ojdbc8.jar platform-0:/opt/mz/persistent/3pp -n <namespace>

4. Restart the platform and EC pods
   $ kubectl delete pod platform-0 -n <namespace>

5. Restart the Desktop
