Using the JDBC Server on Windows

The JDBC server is installed automatically when the JDBC driver is installed and when using applets must be installed on the same machine as the web server.

The URL used by the applet or other client application identifies the address of the JDBC server. An ODBC data source included in the URL must be a system data source to be recognized by the JDBC server.

Note: For a description of the URL recognized by the JDBC driver, see the chapter "JDBC Programmer Reference."

The Windows version of the JDBC server service wrapper, jsrv.exe, is installed in the Java\bin\Win32 subdirectory. This version invokes the JVM using the Java command (as provided by the JRE or Java Development Kit (JDK) from Sun Microsystems). Configuration settings are maintained in the registry, and can be updated using the CA IDMS ODBC Administrator.

You can start and stop the JDBC server from the CA IDMS Server submenu, which you access from your Start menu.

The Windows version of the JDBC server is controlled like the z/OS and Linux versions. A batch file, jsrv.bat, is installed in the Java\bin subdirectory. This batch file sets the classpath to the idmsjdbc.jar file, and should be run from the Java directory, using one of the following commands:

jsrv start

Starts the JDBC server as a background process

jsrv stop

Stops the JDBC server

jsrv suspend

Suspends the JDBC server

jsrv resume

Resumes the JDBC server

jsrv status

Checks the JDBC server status

jsrv debug

Starts the JDBC server as a foreground process

The NT Service version of the JDBC server is no longer supported because it requires the Microsoft Java VM, which is not compatible with newer versions of Java.
