Installing the database

In production environments, IBM® UrbanCode Release can be used with DB2®, Oracle, MySQL, or Microsoft SQL Server databases. By default, IBM UrbanCode Release uses the Derby database. The bundled Derby database is for evaluation purposes.

When you install IBM UrbanCode Release, you specify the database parameters on the database setup page in IBM Installation Manager. The database parameters are stored in the server.properties file in the server_installation\conf directory.

Because IBM UrbanCode Release is deployed as a Tomcat web application, the values in the server.properties file are not used until IBM UrbanCode Release is deployed.

To change the database configuration, shut down the Tomcat server by running the file server.shutdown on Linux or server.shutdown.bat on Windows. This file is in the server folder of the server installation directory. Then, edit the server.properties file and restart Tomcat.
