JDBC Client Prerequisites

JDBC access to the event log store is available only CA Enterprise Log Manager r12.1 and later releases. You can install the JDBC client on Windows and UNIX systems.

Users of this feature must belong to a CA Enterprise Log Manager user group that has the dataaccess privilege in the Default Data Access Policy (in the CALM access policies). See the CA Enterprise Log Manager r12.1 Administration Guide for more information about access policies.

For a JDBC client, the following prerequisites apply:

• You must have administrator privileges to install the JDBC client on a Windows server.
• Verify that the ODBC Server configuration window shows that the Enable Service check box is selected (enabled)
• You must have rights to create files in the directory where you want to install the client on UNIX and Linux systems.
• For applications running under the J2SE v 1.4.2.x, set your database connections programmatically, as defined in a specific application.
• For applications running under J2EE 1.4.2.x and later versions, use a web application server such as Oracle WebLogic or Red Hat JBoss to configure connection pool management.

See the CA Enterprise Log Manager Support Certification Matrix on http://www.ca.com/Support for details on the specific platforms supported for use with the ODBC and JDBC feature.
