Installing EDB JDBC Connector on SLES 12 x86_64 v42.7.3.2

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

• Install Postgres on a host that the product can connect to using a connection string. It doesn't need to be on the same host. See:

  • Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server

  • Installing PostgreSQL

• Ensure that Java is installed on your system. You can download a Java installer that matches your environment from the Oracle Java Downloads website. Documentation that contains detailed installation instructions is available through the associated Installation Instruction links on the same page.

• Review Supported JDBC distributions.

• Set up the EDB repository.

  Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you don't need to perform this step.

  To determine if your repository exists, enter:

  zypper lr -E | grep enterprisedb

  If no output is generated, the repository isn't installed.

  To set up the EDB repository:

  1. Go to EDB repositories.

  2. Select the button that provides access to the EDB repository.

  3. Select the platform and software that you want to download.

  4. Follow the instructions for setting up the EDB repository.

• Activate the required SUSE module:

  → WrapCopy

  sudo SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/12.5/x86_64
  sudo SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.5/x86_64
  

• Refresh the metadata:

  → WrapCopy

  sudo zypper refresh

Install the package

sudo zypper -n install edb-jdbc
