Before you install the IBM® UrbanCode Release server, create a MySQL database. Ideally the database is installed on a computer other than the one where the server is located.
When you install IBM UrbanCode Release , you need the connection information, and a user account with table creation privileges.
Create a MySQL database named IBM UrbanCode Release .
Create a user named uRelease and grant it all privileges on the database. The user password is used in the conf file.
Obtain the MySQL JDBC driver .jar file. The driver is unique to the edition you are using.
Copy the JDBC .jar file to tomcat_directory\lib.
Modify the following parameters in the server.properties file:
database.type=mysql
hibernate.connection.driver_class=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc\:mysql\://localhost\:3306/urelease
hibernate.connection.username=urelease
hibernate.connection.password=urelease
Database configuration is done by modifying parameters in the server.properties file that is in user_home_directory/.urbancode/urelease/conf. On UNIX, the user_home_directory is /home; on Windows it is determined by the user profile, which typically is \Users\current_user. Because IBM UrbanCode Release is deployed as a Tomcat web application, the conf file will not be created until IBM UrbanCode Release is deployed, which means that the configuration changes cannot be made until after initial deployment.
Initially, the password contains an encrypted string. Overwrite the string with the new password. The first time the password is entered it will be plain text, but will be encrypted the next time IBM UrbanCode Release starts.
When you are finished, restart the Tomcat server.
