Most products use the DataDirect Connect JDBC 5.1 driver. For information about options supported by this driver, see the DataDirect Connect documentation, available on the Software AG Documentation website.

If you are using the installer in GUI mode, for ease of use, the database connection values you enter on one panel are reflected on the next as you go forward through the installer the first time.

Use the DataDirect Connect connection option MaxPooledStatements=35 on all database URLs except those for Trading Networks. This connection option improves performance by caching prepared statements. (Trading Networks caches its prepared statements using its own pooling mechanism.)

If the database user and password do not yet exist, specify the database user and password you will create after installation. You can use one database user for multiple database components, or you can use a different database user for each database component.

For DB2, if the product will connect to a schema other than the default schema for the specified database user, you must specify these connection options in the database URL, where AlternateID is the name of the default schema that is used to qualify unqualified database objects in dynamically prepared SQL statements.
