Due to licensing restrictions many common JDBC database drivers do not ship with the core AppBoard product. As a result these need to be added in order for the relevant database Data Sources to work.
Due to licensing restrictions AppBoard does not ship with JDBC database drivers. Loading the appropriate drivers for the specific databases being access is required. This is if using an external configuration database, or for database data sources.

Due to licensing restrictions AppBoard does not ship with JDBC database drivers. Loading the appropriate drivers for the specific databases being access is required. This is if using an external configuration database, or for database data sources.

For convenience and best practice it's recommended to add the drivers required in your environment to the custom export properties file. This way archives will include the drivers and they will not have to be installed separately.


To install a new database driver:

  1. download the driver file or package, usually there is a .jar which is the relevant file.
  2. copy the driver to: [INSTALL_HOME]/webapps/enportal/WEB-INF/lib/
  3. restart AppBoard.

See below for a table of common drivers and where to obtain them.
