Step 1: Obtain the MS JDBC driver

...

Since the MS SQL Server JDBC driver

...

is not available in the central Maven repository, it must be placed into the local repository of each machine on which you wish to build uPortal.

• Download MS JDBC driver directly from Microsift, here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11774
• Follow the installation instructions, noting where the driver JAR file is located
• Note the location of the driver JAR file and the version

• Install the driver into the local Maven repository

  Code Block
  language bash title Install MS SQL Server driver
  mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.microsoft.sqlserver -DartifactId=sqljdbc4 -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true -Dfile=<driver JAR file>

• Again, note the groupId, artifactId and version. These will be used in Step 2.

Step 2: Add the Dependency

...

• From the uPortal source directory, open the uPortal-4.x.x/filters/local.properties file and add your database information (Note: for ease of development we generally suggest leaving local.properties with hsql and adjusting dev.properties, test.properties, and prod.properties to your chosen DB.  If you do this, pass "-Denv=dev" or whatever on your ant commands; e.g. "ant -Denv=dev dbtest").

## HSQL Configuration

environment.build.hsql.port=8887

## Database Connection Settings (Uncomment the Maven Filters section in rdbm.properties)
environment.build.hibernate.connection.driver_class=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
environment.build.hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:sqlserver://<servername>:<port>;databaseName=<databasename>
environment.build.hibernate.connection.username=username
environment.build.hibernate.connection.password=password
environment.build.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect
