- Navigate to the <frevvo-home>\frevvo\ext\connectors directory.
- Unzip the database.zip file to a temporary location of your choice: e.g. c:\tmp. This will create a folder c:\tmp\database. We'll refer to this directory below as <db-tmp>
- Copy <db-tmp>\database.war to <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps.
- Install the JDBC driver, if required

The database connector contains working sample databases with some test data. The BIRT (ClassicModels) and myStore querySets are preloaded with in-memory Derby databases. This make it very easy to try out the connector. No configuration is necessary.
Follow these the steps below to deploy the connector using in Standalone mode or the tomcat bundle and you can get started very quickly.
...
- Download the v7.2.1 tomcat bundle from the frevvo website.
- Extract the files to a location of your choice. We will refer to this directory as <frevvo-home>.
- Navigate to the <frevvo-home>\ext\connectors directory.
- Unzip the database.zip file to a temporary location of your choice: e.g. c:\tmp. This will create a folder c:\tmp\database. We'll refer to this directory below as <db-tmp>
- Copy <db-tmp>\database.war to <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps.

http://localhost:8082/database/statusAfter performing these steps you will have:
- Successfully installed the database connector and retrieved data from the built-in test database
- Create a tenant.
- Create a designer user in the tenant
- Download the Database Connector Application and upload it to the designer user for some example forms that demonstrate the power of the Database Connector using built-in databases.
Standalone Mode:
- Download the Standalone connector zipfile here.
- Unzip the database.zip file to a location of your choice. We will refer to this directory as <db-home>
- Start the connector using plain java command or execute one of the files in this directory to install the DB Connector as a Windows service or *nix console instance:
- Choose one of these methods to start the connector:
- Method 1: Using java in a command window
- Navigate to the <directory where you unzipped the database.zipfile>
- Type java -jar database.war
- Method 2: for Windows OS
- Install the DB Connector as a Windows service by double clicking the Install-Service.bat file. Click the Start DBConnector Service.bat to start the service.
- Method 2 for *nix OS
- Execute the DB Connector.sh shell script for *nix operating systems.
- Method 1: Using java in a command window
- Choose one of these methods to start the connector:
- Test the connector installation by copying this URL directly into your browser:
http://localhost:8081/database/status
- Note the standalone connector runs on port 8081 by default. The port number can be changed when you configure the DB Connector in the next step. Use port 8081 to verify that the Db Connector is up and running for now.
- Verify that query validation page is loaded with status Passed for the built-in database BIRT and myStore querysets. You are now ready to configure the Database Connector.
