Copy the JDBC Drivers for Sybase

To complete the installation for Sybase, manually copy the JDBC drivers to the agent installation directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate the JDBC drivers in the Sybase database installation directory, for example:
   • On UNIX:

     database_install_dir/jConnect-version/devclasses
     

   • On Windows:

     C:\database_install_dir\jConnect-version\devclasses
     

   The agent was tested with the jconn3d.jar and jTDS3d.jar drivers.

2. Copy the JDBC drivers for your database to the jars/ext subdirectory of the agent installation directory.
3. Change to the agent installation directory.
4. Stop the agent using one of the following commands:
   • On UNIX:

     ./cybAgent -s
     

   • On Windows:

     cybAgent -s
     

5. Open the agentparm.txt file that is located in the agent installation directory.
6. Edit the following parameter if the driver class name for your database driver is different:

   jdbc.drivers

   Specifies the driver class name for the JDBC driver. Separate multiple drivers with a colon (:).

   Example: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver:com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver

7. Save and close the agentparm.txt file.
8. Start the agent using one of the following commands:
   • On UNIX:

     ./cybAgent &
     

   • On Windows:

     cybAgent -a
