Testing a DriverManager Connection
You can use DataDirect Test to establish and test a DriverManager connection. The screen shots in this section were taken on a Windows system.
Take the following steps to establish a connection.
1. Navigate to the installation directory. The default location is:
*Windows systems: Program Files\Progress\DataDirect\JDBC_60\testforjdbc
*UNIX and Linux systems: /opt/Progress/DataDirect/JDBC_60/testforjdbc 
For UNIX/Linux, if you do not have access to /opt, your home directory will be used in its place.
2. From the testforjdbc folder, run the platform-specific tool:
*testforjdbc.bat (on Windows systems)
*testforjdbc.sh (on UNIX and Linux systems)
The Test for JDBC Tool window appears:
Test for JDBC Tool landing page
3. Click Press Here to Continue.
The main dialog appears:
Test for JDBC Tool window
4. From the menu bar, select Connection > Connect to DB.
The Select A Database dialog appears:
The Select a Database dialog box
5. Select the appropriate database template from the Defined Databases field.
6. In the Database field, specify the Company for your Oracle Eloqua data source.
For example:
jdbc:datadirect:eloqua:company=ABCcorp
7. Enter your user ID and password in the corresponding fields.
8. Click Connect.
If the connection information is entered correctly, the JDBC/Database Output window reports that a connection has been established. (If a connection is not established, the window reports an error.)
