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 ships with a limited set of JDBC drivers. The appropriate drivers may need to be installed to interface with your chosen configuration database or data sources.

Installing a JDBC Driver

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.
