Configure DAP Connection Parameters/JDBC Drivers

During the installation of the GRAT, you will be prompted to enter various connection parameters for the database you are using as the Rules Repository (created in Creating the Rules Repository Database).

Default Values

Important
You should consult your database vendor’s documentation for specific information. Choose the most current version of the JDBC driver that supports your operating system and Java version. The JDBC driver(s) must be copied to the lib directory of your application server. Typical examples are shown in the table.

Overriding Default Values on the Options Tab
