A Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver is required for SAP  
workloads that are based on Java.  There are different options  
available to you and your choice will depend on several factors.
See SAP note 654800 to determine which driver will meet your    
requirements.  The notes will also indicate from where you may  
obtain that driver and in which IFS directory it should be      
placed.                                                        
In IBM i 7.1, the IBM Toolbox for Java LPP is shipped as part of
5770-SS1 (option 3) - Extended Base Directory Support and the  
latest version will be included in the PTF lists for SS1 above.
If you are upgrading from an older IBM i release, the LPP      
5761-JC1 should be removed.                                    
If you are using the JTOpen toolbox driver, the recommended    
version is 7.0 and can be obtained from following the links at  
http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/toolbox/downloads.html    
****************************************************************
DATABASE CLIENT CODE FOR WINDOWS BASED SAP APPLICATION SERVERS  
SAP note 1431956 states SAP systems using Windows application  
servers with IBM i 7.1 will use SAP DBSL Direct Drive (XDN) as a
database client.  XDN is shipped within the SAP kernel.  IBM i  
Access is no longer required for Windows-based SAP application  
servers.
