For the Oracle Database, copy the ojdbc5.jar file to installationDirectory\sap_bobj\enterprise_xi40\dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\oracle
You must create a directory named oracle in the directory heirarchy under drivers.
If you have Business Intelligence 4.0 Server component and Client tool components on separate computers, you must copy the ojdbc5.jar file on both computers.
Edit the jdbc.sbo file located at installationDirectory\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc and enter the path of the jar file:
<DataBase Active="Yes" Name="Oracle 11"> <ClassJARFile="dbd_jdbc,dbd_oracle">com.businessobjects.connectionserver.java.drivers.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver</Class> <JDBCDriver> <!-- Uncomment and edit the following lines to define java classes required by JDBC driver --> <ClassPath> <Path> d:\OracleDriver\ojdbc5.jar </Path> </ClassPath> <Parameter Name="JDBC Class">oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</Parameter> <Parameter Name="URL Format">jdbc:oracle:thin:@$DATASOURCE${:$DATABASE$}</Parameter> </JDBCDriver>
Save the file.
If you have BusinessObjects 3.1 Server component and Client tool components on separate computers, you must edit the jdbc.sbo file on both computers.
