Specifying the database with the engine code

Pega 7 Platform stores engine code in the database as a CodeSet. Edit the prbootstrap.properties file provided in the configuration directory of your BIX distribution to add database connection settings that specify the Pega 7 Platform database holding the engine code.

1. Specify the database connection settings using the naming convention:
             <unique-identifier>,<dbtype>.<property>
   

where:

• <unique-identifier> is a distinct value that together with <dbtype> identifies a specific data source.
• <dbtype> refers to a set of common properties associated with a given database type. There are four values that may be used:
  • oracle
  • db2
  • mssql
  • derby
• <property> is one of the key values needed to access the data source.

For example, to connect to an Oracle database:


com.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.allclasses.dbcpsource=example.oracle
example.oracle.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/codebase
example.oracle.username=user
example.oracle.password=pass
oracle.jdbc.class=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

2. Specify any additional properties needed to connect to the database using the connectionProperties entry and provide a semicolon-separated list of values. For example:
   

example.oracle.connectionProperties=oracle.jdbc.V8Compatible=true

Note: Set the system property com.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.ignorejndi to TRUE when using Pega-managed connections. This tells Pega 7 Platform to ignore the JNDI data source information in the file and to use the Pega-managed connection settings instead.
