JDBC Driver Type

[Former Member]

Hi -

Does the XI JDBC adapter require a type 4 driver or can other types be used as well?

Thanks,

It looks like Note 850116 talks about this...

1. JDBC Driver Deployment

• Q: How do I deploy the JDBC Driver JARs required to connect the JDBC Adapter to my DBMS?

• A: The JDBC driver deployment is performed using a special SDA file named aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda which is shipped as an empty stub with your XI installation. For Type 4 drivers, information how to add your JDBC drivers to this SDA is available in section 11.1 of the SAP XI 3.0 Configuration Guide, which is available on the SAP Service Marketplace under the URL: http://service.sap.com/instguidesNW04.

For Type 2 drivers, additional configuration steps are required, which are documented in note 850116.
