Unica Platform

Create the JDBC connection in web application server

The Unica Platform web application must be able to communicate with its system table database using a JDBC connection. You must create this JDBC connection in the web application server where you plan to deploy Unica Platform.

You can allow the installer to create this data source when you install Unica Platform. To enable automatic data source creation during installation, on the Datasource Creation panel, select the Create Datasource check box and supply information about your application server.The installer creates the data source using UnicaPlatformDS as the JNDI name.

The following sections provide information on creating JDBC connections on different application servers.
