Before you use the connector, you must do the following:
If the connector runs on a different machine from the integration broker, install the version of the Adapter Development Kit that is compatible with the version of your integration broker.
For example, if you are using the JDBC Type 2 driver for an Oracle database, you must install the OracleOCI libraries.
The connector processes data in an JDBC application using a driver for Oracle that follows the JDBC specification. For the connector to process data in the database, with which it talks directly, it must have access to a user account and password that is valid for the application. The user account must have the privileges to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data from the application's database. If you do not already have such an account, you must create one.
The Java runtime environment within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) represents data in the Unicode character code set. Unicode contains encodings for characters in most known character sets (both single-byte and multibyte). Because the connector is written in Java, it understands Unicode.
