Installing the Informix JDBC driver

To download the JDBC driver for Informix:

1. From a Web browser, go to the Informix JDBC download page

   The browser displays the Web page titled IBM Informix JDBC Driver Downloads

2. From the Language drop-down menu, select English US
3. Select Continue

   The browser displays the download page.

4. Select Download now and save the file to the /tmp directory on the Avaya IR system.

   If you cannot directly download the JDBC.2.21.JC5.tar file to the Avaya IR system, download it to a temporary location. Then transfer the file (using the ftp command or some other method) to the /tmp directory on the Avaya IR system.

To install the Informix JDBC driver:

1. Log in as root.
2. At the command prompt, enter cd /tmp
3. Enter tar xvf JDBC.2.21.JC5.tar

   The driver software is extracted from the tar file.

4. Enter java -cp setup.jar run -silent -P product.installLocation=/tmp/infx

   The driver software is installed in the /tmp/infx directory.

5. Enter cp /tmp/infx/lib/ifxjdbc.jar /vs/java/jdbc/lib

   The driver software is copied to the /vs/java/jdbc/lib directory where the Avaya IR software expects it to be. To enable the driver, you must restart the Apache Tomcat servlet engine.

6. Enter /etc/init.d/tomcat stop

   The system displays messages indicating that the Tomcat engine is stopped.

7. Enter /etc/init.d/tomcat start

   The system displays messages indicating that the Tomcat engine is started.
