1. Download the JDBC Driver for your chosen database:

   Table 1.

   Database	JDBC Driver JAR file
   MySQL 5.6	mysql-connector-java-5.1.25.jar
   MS SQL 2008	sqljdbc.jar
   Oracle 11g	ojdbc15-11.1.0.7.0.jar

2. Place the JDBC Driver JAR file in <DOMAIN_HOME>/lib

• On Windows, open <DOMAIN_HOME>\bin\setDomainEnv.cmdwith a text editor and add the following:

  set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0
  set USER_MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx1536m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
  set EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES=%EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES% -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
  

• On Linux, open <DOMAIN_HOME>/bin/setDomainEnv.shwith a text editor and add the following:

  JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"
  export JAVA_OPTIONS
  USER_MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx1536m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
  export USER_MEM_ARGS
  EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES} -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
  export EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES
  

The Elastic Path web applications need direct access to the file system, which means that they must be deployed in exploded form.

1. In <DOMAIN_HOME>, create a directory (ie. EPWARs) for deploying Elastic Path WAR files.
2. For each web application you want to deploy:
   1. Create a subdirectory inside the directory you just created. Name these subdirectories after the web application. (ie. storefront)
   2. Copy the web application's WAR file into your new subdirectory.
   3. In the command prompt, navigate to your subdirectory.
   4. Enter the following command to extract the WAR file's contents:

      jar -xvf storefront.war
      

1. In the Domain Structure tree, expand the Elastic Path domain and click Environment -> Servers.
2. In the Servers list, click AdminServer(admin).
3. In Configuration -> General, select SSL Listen Port Enabled.
4. Click Save.

1. In the Domain Structure tree, expand the Elastic Path domain and select Services -> JDBC -> Data Sources.
2. In the Summary of JDBC Data Sources pane, under Data Sources, click New.
3. In the JDBC Data Source Properties page, enter the following information and click Next:

   Table 2.

   Name	Property
   Name	jdbc/epjndi
   JNDI Name	jdbc/epjndi
   Database Type	Select your database platform (Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server).

   Table 3.

   Database	Property
   MySQL 5.6	MySQL's Driver (Type 4) Versions:using com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
   MS SQL 2008	Microsoft's MS SQL Server Driver (Type 4) Versions:2005
   Oracle 11g	Select your database platform (Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server).

4. In the Transaction Options page, click Next.
5. In the Connection Properties page, enter your database connection information and click Next.
   Note: MySQL Database Note

   If you are using a MySQL Database, enter the following Properties under the Properties box in the Test Database Connection page:

   useUnicode=true
   user=%USERNAME%
   characterEncoding=utf-8
   AutoReconnect=true

   In the Test Database Connection page, click Test Configuration. If your connection information is correct, you will see a success message.
6. Click Next.
7. In the Select Targets page, select AdminServer and click Next.
8. Click Finish.

1. In the Domain Structure tree, expand the Elastic Path domain and click Deployments.
2. Do the following for each Elastic Path web application you want to deploy:
   1. In the Summary of Deployments pane, click Install.
   2. Locate the directory where you extracted the war files. Click the radio button next to the subdirectory name and click Next.
