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. Also, notice the database resource name has been changed to jdbc/sharedfrevvoDS. When you configure your database, make the changes to the server.xml. Do not copy configured sections from a frevvo.xml of a previous release into the server.xml file.

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. You must leave the property trustServerCertificate=true in place. This is required because in the built-in JDBC driver, TLS encryption is enabled by default.

- The 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-8.4.1.jre11.jar) is included in the frevvo tomcat bundle in the <frevvo-home>\frevvo\tomcat\lib directory.
Warning At this time, frevvo only supports the mssql-jdbc-8.4.1.jre11.jar version of the SQL Server JDBC driver. This version of the driver is included in the frevvo tomcat bundle.
- If you don't find what you need pre-installed you will need to locate a driver compatible with your database. Usually, you can download your driver from the internet. Try one of these locations:
- MySQL - 8.0.x or later is recommended if you are using MySQL 5.6+
- Oracle
- If you are using Oracle19 as your database, the jdbc driver must be the version 8 ojdbc.jar.
- If you are using Oracle12c as your database, the jdbc driver must be the version 7 ojdbc.jar which is certified for JDK 7 and 8 for the Insight Data batch process to function properly.
- If you are using Oracle 11g, continue to use the the ojdbc6 driver version 11.2.0.3+ which is certified for JDK 6, 7 and 8. Remember JDK 6 and 7 are no longer supported by frevvo.
- 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.cj.jdbc.Driver". Starting 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.
- It is also appropriate to copy the driver into any location that is in the CLASSPATH of your tomcat installation. Another location would be <CATALINA_HOME>/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.cj.jdbc.Driver". Starting 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.

Users on Mac OS may see this exception: Caused by: com.mysql.cj.exceptions.InvalidConnectionAttributeException: The server time zone value 'EDT' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specific time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support. Customers facing this error should add the serverTimezone=EST5EDT (insert correct timezone) parameter to the jdbc url. |
