7.6.2.1   Location of the Simulation Database Driver

The location of the JDBC driver required by RMA to connect to the database depends on if the ERE is started as a standalone application, or is started from a web browser.

When ERE is started as a standalone application, the Java Archive (JAR) file which contains the driver should be located in the RMA lib folder on the computer from where RMA is started.

When ERE is started in a web browser, the JAR file should be installed in one of the Java extension directories. The location of Java extension directories can be identified from within RMA. On the main menu bar, select Help and then About. In the dialog that appears, switch to the Runtime Properties tab. Under the Java Properties heading, locate the row with the property named java.ext.dirs. In the Value column is a list of directories in which the Java Runtime Environment looks for extension libraries. Install the JAR file in one of these directories, and then restart RMA."
