Step 1: Configure the Database Filter

  • From the uPortal source directory, open the uPortal-4.x.x/filters/local.properties file and add your database information
## 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
environment.build.hibernate.connection.validationQuery=select 1

 

Step 2: Add the database driver

  1. NEW: Open uportal-db/pom.xml file, uncomment the MSSQL sqljdbc driver below and modify as needed 

  2. Add the appropriate version properties to the root pom.xml file or enter the appropriate version below
uportal-db/pom.xml
... 
<dependencies>
        <!-- Add any db drivers that are applicable to *any* of your environments -->
	    <dependency>
	        <groupId>org.hsqldb</groupId>
	        <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
	        <version>${hsqldb.version}</version>
	        <scope>compile</scope>
	    </dependency>
        <!--
         | The following db drivers should be uncommented and/or modified as needed for server 
         | deployments.  (Add all thaat are needed.)  Don't forget to add appropriate  .version 
         | properties to the root pom.xml, or simply enter the appropriate version below.
         +-->
	  <!--
	    <dependency>
            <groupId>postgresql</groupId>
	        <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
	        <version>${postgres.version}</version>
	        <scope>compile</scope>
	    </dependency>
 	    <dependency>
	        <groupId>com.ibm.db2</groupId>
	        <artifactId>db2-jdbc</artifactId>
	        <version>${db2.version}</version>
	        <scope>compile</scope>
	    </dependency>
	  -->
        <dependency>

            <artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
            <version>${mssql.version}</version>
        </dependency>
 
	  <!--
        <dependency>
            <groupId>mysql</groupId>
            <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
            <version>${mysql.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
            <artifactId>ojdbc6_g</artifactId>
            <version>${oracle.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.sybase</groupId>
            <artifactId>sybase-jconnect</artifactId>
            <version>${sybase.version}</version>
        </dependency>
	    -->
    </dependencies>


Step 3: Test the Configuration

Running the dbtest ant target will tell you if you have configured the database connection properly.

ant dbtest

 

Step 4: Build and Deploy 

Following a successful test, you can execute the command below to build the database tables and copy files to your servlet container. 

Note: Executing the command "ant clean initportal" will drop and recreate the database tables and all existing data will be lost. This will result in a clean uPortal database structure. If you want to keep the contents of your existing database, use "ant clean deploy-war"

ant clean initportal

Step 5: Restart Tomcat
