Connecting to a Database 

Use

This procedure enables you to connect to a database and scan an installed J2EE Engine system configuration.

Procedure

...

       1.      Start the Config tool by double-clicking on the configtool script file in <SAP_install_dir>/<system_name>/<instance_name>/j2ee/configtool.

       2.      If you want to connect to the default database, then choose “Yes”.

       3.      To connect to a different database, choose “No” and enter the following information:

                            a.      Secure Store File – contains the path to the secure store properties file. This file contains secure data for connecting to the database or Visual Administrator. It is encrypted for security reasons.

                            b.      Secure Store Key File – contains the path to the secure store key file. The key file contains the password for the encrypted store file.

                            c.      System Name – displays the name of the system to which this data applies.

                            d.      Secure Store Lib – contains the path to the IAIK package. It enables the encrypting of the properties file.

                            e.      RDBMS Connections – contains a property key of which the value contains the DB connection settings.

                              f.      RDBMS Driver Location– contains the path to the RDBMS driver

                            g.      RDBMS Initial Connections

                            h.      RDBMS Maximum Connections

       4.      If secure storing fails, you can use the Overwrite RDBMS Settings option:

                            a.      Enter the URL of the RDBMS

                            b.      Enter the user name for connecting to the database

                            c.      Enter the password for this user

       5.      Choose Load.

Result

If you have upgraded your J2EE Engine system and a problem with the connection occurs, see Config Tool Hangs after Upgrade .

●      If you have chosen “Yes”, you successfully connect to the default database.

●      If you have chosen “No”, you successfully connect to another database.

Next time you run the Config Tool, you have to enter the connection settings again.
