By default, IBM® UrbanCode Release uses the Derby database. No additional user actions are required. IBM UrbanCode Release can also be used with Oracle, MySQL, or MS SQL Server.
Database configuration is done by modifying parameters in the server.properties file, which is in user_home_directory/.urbancode/urelease/conf. On UNIX, the user_home_directory is /home; on Windows it is determined by the user profile, which typically is \Users\current_user.
Because IBM UrbanCode Release is deployed as a Tomcat web application, the server.properties file will not be created until IBM UrbanCode Release is deployed, which means that the configuration changes cannot be made until after initial deployment.
To change the database, first deploy IBM UrbanCode Release as described previously, then shut down the Tomcat server. Next, modify the server.properties file by following the instructions for your database type. Once configured, restart Tomcat.
