Updating JDBC Drivers

Ensure the WLSH4A or WASH4A installer (Tools Releases prior to 9.2.9) or Development Client installer (Tools Releases 9.2.9 and later) has the latest JDBC driver files for the currently supported database versions.

Follow the steps in Copying JDBC Drivers and the tnsnames.ora file to the Deployment Server to update the drivers.

Note: As noted in Copying JDBC Drivers and the tnsnames.ora file to the Deployment Server, you must delete any obsolete driver files. Check Oracle Certifications for the latest drivers.
Important: When installing the Web Client (WLSH4A or WASH4A) using installers prior to Tools Release 9.2.5.0, the JDBj-SPEC DATA SOURCE section in the jdbj.ini file is populated with information that points to the E1Local database as the location of the Serialized Objects tables (F989998 and F989999). Since E1Local is no longer supported with Tools Release 9.2.5.0, the Web Client installers comment out this entire section in the jdbj.ini file. This causes the Web Client to use OCM to determine the location of the Serialized Objects tables.
