Description:
============
Because DataDirect drivers are no longer shipped in TIBCO Runtime Agent (TRA)  5.7.x and 5.8.x, TIBCO Adapters should use a vendor-supplied database driver for design-time configuration and runtime implementation or use the TIBCO Database Driver Supplement Software 1.0.0.

This article describes how to configure TIBCO Adapters working with Vendor-supplied Database Drivers for TRA 5.7.x and 5.8.x environment.

Environment:
===========
This article is applicable for using the following TIBCO Adapters in TIBCO TRA 5.7.x and 5.8.x environment:
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for WebSphere MQ
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Tuxedo
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Kenan/BP
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for LDAP
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Lotus Notes
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for PeopleSoft
> TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Siebel
> TIBCO Adapter for AS400
> TIBCO Adapter for Clarify
> TIBCO Adapter for EJB
> TIBCO Adapter for Infranet
> TIBCO Adapter for JDE One World Xe
> TIBCO Adapter for CORBA
> TIBCO Adapter for Teradata
> TIBCO Adapter for COM
> TIBCO Adapter for Files
> TIBCO Adapter for Remedy
> TIBCO Adapter for CICS
> TIBCO Adapter for SWIFT
> Custom Adapters which have been developed using TIBCO Adapter SDK API

Resolution:
==========
In order to configure TIBCO Adapters working with Vendor-supplied Database Drivers for TRA 5.7.1 environment, we can use the traDBConfig utility to configure the path of a vendor-supplied driver. The traDBConfig utility is located in the TIBCO_HOME/tra/5.7/bin folder.

On each server and client machine where DataDirect drivers had been used:
1) Execute the traDBconfig command for TIBCO Runtime Agent. For example: traDBConfig -type OracleThin -dbPath c:\oraclejdbcdir -product tra
2) Collect the tra files that need to be updated by the path of Vendor-supplied Database Drivers
3) Execute the traDBconfig command for each tra files. For example: traDBConfig -type OracleThin -dbPath c:\oraclejdbcdir -path &lttra file name with full path> Or follow the steps 4 to 6 and execute the traDBconfig command for all tra files at one time.
4) Create an empty text file and write the string "FILES" following a space character.
5) In the above text file, after the string "FILES ", write in all the tra files collected, separated by semicolons (no space). For example: Files c:/tibco/designer/5.7/bin/designer.tra;c:/tibco/adapter/adadb/6.0/bin/adbagent.tra
6) Save the text file and execute the traDBconfig command for updating tra files. For example: traDBConfig -type OracleThin -dbPath c:\oraclejdbcdir -filelist &lttext file name with full path>
