Setting up connectivity to the primary database

Replication Agent connects to primary data servers using a JDBC driver that implements the JDBC 3.0 standard.

You must install the correct connectivity driver for your primary database environment before installing Replication Agent.

In general, JDBC drivers are available with client/server products for your database server. Contact your Database Administrator if you are not sure that the correct driver is installed.

The following sections contain procedures for setting up the JDBC drivers for primary data servers.

NoteOnly one version of a vendor's JDBC driver should be in the CLASSPATH. If more than one version is in the CLASSPATH, Replication Agent will have problems connecting to the primary database.
