TBSM v6.1 Data Sources – Supported Database Drivers

in Best Practices, Business Service Management, IBM, Implementation, TBSM, Tivoli, Usability

If you hadn’t paid close enough attention as you were RTFM over the past few weeks you may have missed this. This release of TBSM v6.1 does not include the same database drivers that the previous versions of TBSM had.

TBSM v6.1 only provides the following database driver support:

  • DB2
  • HSQL
  • Informix
  • ObjectServer

If you want to connect to Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, SQLSVR or any other database you’ll need to add your own database drivers. This holds true even for a migration from TBSM v4.2.1 to TBSM v6.1. Those drivers are not migrated. Your previously configured data sources and data fetchers will fail.

See the manuals discussing how to add a new driver here.
