Information for creating JDBC connections

Use default values when you create JDBC connections if specific values are not provided. For more information, see the application server documentation.

Note: If you are not using the default port setting for your database, make sure that you change it to the correct value.

WebLogic

Use the following values if your application server is WebLogic:
