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 frevvo 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, "frevvo" 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 frevvo to Oracle databases. The built in SYSTEM user account will not work.
- The frevvo database setup is now complete. will frevvo will create all the necessary tables upon startup.

Configuration of the connection Url is key to successfully connect the server frevvo server to your database. Consult your DBA to assist with connection issues.
...
1) Set the sharedfrevvoDS data source url parameter to your database server. If and frevvo and the database server are collocated "localhost" may be fine. The url parameters depend on the database type and installation choices made when your DBA installed your database software. Consult your DBA for the correct connection values. For example, SQL server installed on a non-default port and running on a machine named e00sca will require that you add a port number and host name to the Url. For example:

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.

...
If you are trying a different database type and do not see an example in server.xml for your database, you can create a new data source entry. Hibernate supports the following dialects however has frevvo has only been certified to run with a subset of these databases. For additional dialects see Hibernate documentation.
...
- Turn on the “Is Read Committed Snapshot On” Option under database properties.
Install a JDBC Driver
database frevvo database relies on the JDBC API. See the list of certified databases. If you choose a database that's not in this list you do so at your own risk.
| Warning |
|---|
You MUST use a JDBC4 type driver. |
The download frevvo download package comes with pre-installed drivers. For example:
- the HSQLDB.jar file is located in WEB-INF/lib in the frevvo.war.
the SQL Server JDBC Driver - this driver (mssql-jdbc-6.1.0.jre8.jar ) is included in the frevvo tomcat bundle in the <frevvo-home>\frevvo\tomcat\lib directory.
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 frevvo 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
- MySQL - 5.1.45 or later is recommended if you are using MySQL 5.6+
Oracle
| Info |
|---|
|
Once you have the driver you need, copy it to <frevvo-home>/tomcat/lib.
The <frevvo-home>\tomcat\logs\frevvo.log file will report an error if you do not copy the JDBC driver to lib directory. The verbiage may differ depending on the driver and database. For example, the error for MySQL is "Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver". Starting without frevvo without the correct jdbc driver displays an HTTP 404 error. Copying the correct jdbc driver to the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/lib directory should resolve the issue.

Transferring Your frevvo Data from HSQL to a Production Database
The bundle frevvo bundle includes an HSQL embedded database. If you use the HSQL database during your trial period, you cannot migrate the data (user, roles, applications) automatically from HSQL to your production database. Once your production database is in place, you must manually:
