Issue/Introduction

While trying to perform masking operation through CA TDM Portal (4.10) on a mySQL DB, we are getting the following error :

TDC2OSM001_ciq_a99cif_obfuscate_ciq_a99cif_obfuscate: Loading class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'. This is deprecated. The new driver class is com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver'. The driver is automatically registered via the SPI and manual loading of the driver class is generally unnecessary.

 

 

Environment

Release : 4.10

Cause

This issue occurs if you copied multiple versions of mysql-connector jars in jdbc-drivers folder.

Resolution

 As explained in documentation,  you download the driver mysql-connector-java-x.xx-bin.jar from http://dev.mysql.com and rename to mysql-connector-java.jar and Place it in the following folder:

For use with TDM Portal: C:\Program Files\CA\CA Test Data Manager Portal\tomcat\jdbc-drivers

For use with Fast Data Masker: C:\Program Files\Grid-Tools\FastDataMasker\lib\
