Specifying the database with the engine code

Pega 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 Platform database holding the engine code.

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

    where:

    For example, to connect to an Oracle database:

    com.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.allclasses.dbcpsource=example.oracleexample.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
