retagged Feb 04 '19, 3:14 p.m. by Michael Afshar (701●4) I have a question about the Rational CLM setup workflow for Oracle databases. Step 4.4 of the interactive workflow is to "Create an environment variable named ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_FILE and point to the ojdbc7.jar or ojdbc8.jar JDBC driver" 
This instruction is the last item under step 4, "Set up the database." This context implies to me that this step should be accomplished on the database server.
However, just thinking about the situation, it would make more sense to me for this step to be accomplished on the application server.
Can someone clarify? Thanks!

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER As far as I can tell, this is a setting that is required for the system running the application (and app server) and not for the DB server. Usually no Oracle DB Admin would let you even touch their system, thank you very much. Bob 3 selected this answer as the correct answer
