Basic Requirement - 3: JDBC Drivers

The connector requires the JDBC driver for the database being crawled. SES will ship with Oracle driver. Due to licensing constraints, the database driver for other database types will not be available out-of-the-box and should be provided by the user.

For crawling any non-Oracle database, copy the JDBC driver jar file for that database and change the drivers.properties file as follows:
1. Download the appropriate JDBC driver jar into $ORACLE_HOME/search/lib/plugins/oracleapplications directory in Oracle SES.

2. Update drivers.properties in $OH/search/lib/plugins/oracleapplications directory with the following information: <Database name>: <Driver class name>.
For example, Oracle: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

3. Add the JDBC driver jar file name to the classpath in MANIFEST.MF of $ORACLE_HOME/search/lib/plugins/oracleapplications/appsjdbc.jar and $ORACLE_HOME/search/lib/plugins/oracleapplications/DBCrawler.jar.
