Installing the JDBC Driver

Applications using JDBC to access the Progress DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline connectivity service require access to a properly configured Hybrid Data Pipeline Driver for JDBC.
During installation of the Hybrid Data Pipeline server, four configuration and certificate files are generated. For a standalone deployment, these files are located in the Hybrid Data Pipeline installation directory <install_dir>/redist. For a load balancer deployment, these files are stored in a key location specified during installation. These files must be copied to the directory from which the JDBC driver installation program will be run. The files are:
*config.properties
*OnPremise.properties
*ddcloud.pem
*ddcloudTrustStore.jks
Note: The Java installer can be run on any platform, including Windows; however, if you run the Java installer on Windows, turn off User Account Controls or select a non-system directory as the installation directory. The Windows installer allows you to install the Hybrid Data Pipeline Driver for JDBC in the Program Files system directory without turning off User Account Controls.
Take the following steps to install the driver.
1. Download the product installation file into a temporary directory.
*Windows: PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_JDBC_version_WIN.exe
*Non-Windows: PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_JDBC_version.jar
2. Copy the four configuration and certificate files from the Hybrid Data Pipeline Server installation into the temporary directory with the installer file.
3. Run the installer.
*Windows: Right-click PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_JDBC_version_WIN.exe and select Run as administrator.
*Non-Windows: Double-click PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_JDBC_version.jar
The Introduction window appears.
4. Click Next.
The Installation Type window appears.
5. Choose the type of installation to perform. Select one of the following options:
*Standard Installation. Select this option to install the standard unbranded version of the driver. Click Next to continue with the installation. Continue at the next step.
*OEM Installation. Select this option if you have purchased a licensed version of the product. Enter your branding key. Then, click Next and continue with the next step.
OEM CUSTOMERS: Refer to the Distribution Guide for Progress DataDirect Drivers for JDBC for information on installing, branding, unlocking, and distributing your branded driver.
6. In the Where Would You Like to Install? field, click Choose... to browse to and select an installation directory or type the path, including the drive letter on Windows machines, of the appropriate directory.
7. Click Next to continue.
Note: If you specify a directory that contains a previous installation of the driver, a warning message appears allowing you to overwrite your existing installation or specify a different installation directory.
8. A window appears allowing you to confirm your installation options. Click Previous to revise your choices, or click Install to continue with the installation.
9. Click Done to exit the installer.
