Creating JDBC connections in the web application server

The Unica Segment Central web application uses JDBC connections to communicate with the system table database and with the Unica Platform and Unica Campaign system table database.

You must create this JDBC connection in the web application server where you plan to deploy Unica Segment Central. If you are using WebLogic or Tomcat, you must add the JDBC driver to your class path manually. The installer does this automatically for WebSphere.

Important: For the connection to the database holding the Unica Platform system tables, you must use UnicaPlatformDS as the JNDI name. For the connection to the database holding the Unica Campaign system tables, you must use campaignPartition1DS as the JNDI name. If Campaign has multiple partitions, we will need the datasources for all the partitions of Campaign. These are the required JNDI names.

JDBC connections in the web application server will be required for all the user DataSources created under Campaign, this is required to use them in Segment Central.

If you expect to have many concurrent users in Unica Segment Central, you may need to increase the number of connections in your web server. For best results, set your web server to allow 50 connections.
