Database configuration has been removed from the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml file. It is now done in the C:<frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\server.xml file.
When you configure your database, make the changes to the server.xml in the tomcat bundle that you are installing . Do not copy configured sections from a frevvo.xml of a previous release into the newly installed server.xml file.

Configure the frevvo database
...
- Locate the sharedfrevvoDS data source url parameter and decide on a name for the frevvo database. For the SQL Server it would look like this: "url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=frevvo". You can change the name "frevvo" to whatever you wish, "" for example. But it must match the database name you create in your SQL server. See configure the connection Url below.
- Create a UTF-8 encoded database "frevvo" (assuming you left the url parameter database name as the default) in your SQL server
- Set the sharedfrevvoDS data source url parameter to your database server. See configure the connection Url below.
Set the sharedfrevvoDS data source username and password parameters to a user that has read and write permissions to the frevvo database.
Tip It is recommended practice to use a named user (schema) account with the proper privileges when connecting to Oracle databases. The built in SYSTEM user account will not work.
- The frevvo database setup is now complete. will create all the necessary tables upon startup.

If you are using SQL Server, it is recommended that you append the sendStringParametersAsUnicode property with a value of false to your database connection URL. This property will improve performance. You can find more information about this property on this Microsoft website. If you do not see the property, when configuring the Connection URL to your database, add it.

Warning At this time, frevvo only supports the v6.1.0.jre8 version of the SQL Server JDBC driver. This version of the driver is included in the frevvo tomcat bundle. v6.2+ of the driver may cause an issue with downloading larger attachment files from the submission repository. v6.2+ versions should not be used until further notice.
If you don't find what you need pre-installed you will need to locate a driver compatible to your database. Usually you can download your driver from the internet. Try one of these locations
