Installing EDB JDBC Connector on RHEL 8 ppc64le v42.5.1.2

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Install EDB Postgres Advanced Server 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.

  • 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 repository

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

    To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.
