Issue/Introduction

When installing Harweb, getting an error when connecting to the SQL DB - sqldbc4.jar not found in JDBC SQL Driver 7.0

Cause

The problem was that the installer was looking for a very specific name for the jdbc driver file. 

 

Environment

CA Harvest SCM v13.0.3
SQL Server 2012 database
Windows Server 2012

Resolution

We unzipped the 4.2 version of the SQL Server jdbc archive, and then in the sqljdbc_4.2\enu\jre8 folder renamed from sqljdbc42.jar to sqljdbc4.jar. After this the Harweb installer could complete successfully and it's working now.
