Planning Your SequeLink® Server for JDBC Socket Configuration

Using SequeLink Server for JDBC Socket, your application can access any databases that are accessible through a JDBC 2.0- or 3.0-compliant driver. You only need a back-end JDBC driver, that is, the specific JDBC driver for the data store you wish to access. Refer to the SequeLink Administrator's Guide for more information on configuring the SequeLink Server for JDBC Socket.

To connect to a SequeLink Server for JDBC Socket:

  1. Install the SequeLink Server for ODBC Socket. For more information, refer to the SequeLink Installation Guide.
  2. On the SequeLink Server, create a JDBC Socket service.
  3. Create a SequeLink Server-side data source that specifies the driver name and the connection URL of your JDBC driver.

    4. NOTE: When you install SequeLink Server for JDBC Socket, a server-side data source called Default is created automatically.

  4. Check the ServiceEnvironmentVariable. The CLASSPATH should contain the paths to the class-files or class-libraries used by the driver referenced in the data source you created in Step 2. If necessary, add these paths and restart SequeLink Server.
  5. On the SequeLink Client, create a SequeLink data source.
    • When connecting through the JDBC, .NET, or ODBC Client, no additional configuration tasks are needed.
    • If you are connecting to SequeLink Server for JDBC Socket through an ADO Client, you must perform additional configuration tasks. For detailed instructions, refer to the SequeLink Administrator's Guide.
