JDBC Channel

The JDBC* channel allows the logging server to output filtered events to any JDBC-enabled data store. Before you create a JDBC channel object, copy all required JDBC libraries (.jar extension) to the tomcat\4\common\lib folder of your iManager server.

 

JDBC Channel Driver

At startup, the JDBC driver, jdbclogdriver.jar, looks in the classpath for the JDBC Class designated in the JDBC Channel object configuration. It then attempts to launch the JDBC Class. If it is successful, that instance of the Class remains active until the JDBC Channel object is disabled or the Secure Logging Server is shut down.

If it cannot launch the JDBC Class, the JDBC driver refuses to load. This safeguard ensures that no events are lost because of misconfiguration.

NOTE: The JDBC driver does not buffer events that are undeliverable because of misconfiguration or a server failure.

At startup, Novell® Audit defines the Java* classpath as follows:

Novell_Audit_install_directory\java\logdriver\

Novell Audit installs its default Java drivers to this directory. Any .jar files required for additional Java channels you are using with Novell Audit must be copied to this directory or a subdirectory.

NOTE: If you are using the JDBC channel on a Windows* machine, you need to the add the jvm.dll directory path to the Path system variable. For example, c:\j2sdk1.4.2_09\jre\bin\server\. Reboot the machine for the changes to take effect.
