TIBCO 6 Oracle JDBC configuration

The process on installing Oracle JDBC driver for TIBCO 6.5 is a bit hidden 🙂 I mean not that easy to find in documentation.

To install JDBC driver for oracle follow the following steps for TIBCO 6.5.

  • Drop ojdbc jar file in “C:\tibco65\bw\6.5\config\design\thirdparty” in my case it was ojdbc8.jar
  • Drop the jar file at following path if not exists
    "C:\tibco65\bw\6.5\config\drivers\shells\jdbc.oracle.runtime\runtime\plugins\com.tibco.bw.jdbc.datasourcefactory.oracle\lib"
  • Run the following driver installation command
 C:\tibco65\bw\6.5\bin>bwinstall.exe oracle-driver
