This section describes what you need to do after installing Build Forge on Windows. You need to perform the steps in this section only if you are setting up an existing database to be used by a Windows-based Management Console.
Download and unzip JDBC drivers for your database. Copy the jar file only to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. ($CATALINA_HOME is the Tomcat installation root and must be set as an environment variable). See the installation documentation for your driver for instructions.
Locate the link for the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver. If you installed an earlier version of this driver, replace it with the 2005 driver. Build Forge no longer supports earlier SQL Server JDBC drivers.
Add the following entries:
bf_proxyHost=<your_proxy_server_hostname> bf_proxyPath=<your_proxy_path> bf_symlinkPath=<symlink_to_proxy_path>
The ora_ph_type parameter in <bf-install>/db.ini must be set to a value that does not cause the driver to strip trailing blanks. The setting ora_ph_type=96 is recommended. If set to a value that strips trailing blanks (for example, SQL_VARCHAR), you see an error when running Build Forge: DBD::Oracle::st execute failed: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("BLDFORGE"."BF_RESULT"."BF_ENV") The problem does not occur with Oracle 10.
You must set DB2CODEPAGE=1208 in the OS environment in order to display international characters correctly on non-English systems.
