where to copy custom database drivers ?
Problem
-- users may need to add their own database driver (ex : jt400.jar for DB2)-- getting such error when Integrator tries to connect to the custom database :
[MON - 1040]: Unable to open Channel / [JDX - 17010]: Connection failed for Channel....
-- where should be located such custom drivers ?
Resolution
* drivers delivered natively in the product are available in $CORE_ROOT/java/lib/ext
* instead of putting the custom drivers in $CORE_ROOT/java/lib/ext (not recommended because it may be removed by patch or SP installation...), it is better to :
1. create the directory $CORE_LOCAL/java/lib/ext
2. copy the driver in $CORE_LOCAL/java/lib/ext
3. update the CLASSPATH with the full path including the driver name
Ex : CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$CORE_LOCAL/java/lib/ext/jt400.jar
