After a basic installation your Gentics Portal.Node SDK is ready to be used out of the box. This chapter deals with further optional configuration, like using other database systems than HSQLDB.
To use an arbitrary database other than HSQL with Gentics Portal.Node SDK you need to:
Configure your Database and import the Gentics .Node ContentRepository database dump specific to your Database as well as the Gentics Portal.Node SDK data dump - Both can be found on the Gentics Portal.Node SDK CD in documentation/database
.
Download the JDBC Driver for your Database and place it into your tomcat/shared/lib
directory.
Modify the datasource settings to adjust the JDBC Connection URL and Driver Class. This can be done in the <datasource-handles>
section of the Portal Configuration (default.portal.xml
).
The syntax of the JDBC Connection URL as well as the driver class can be found in the documentation of the JDBC Driver library.
