  1. Start the Liquibase Business GUI

  2. In the GUI window, select Help > Install New Software. You see the Available Software window.

  3. To the right of the Work with field, click Add. You see the Add Repository dialog.

    • Name: Enter the name, Liquibase Business Composite Repository 

    • Location: Click Archive, then use the file browser to select the composite repository zip file that you downloaded.  For example: DaticalDBCompositeRepo-5.12.5833.zip

    • The SCM Plug-ins allow you to perform source control operations from the Datical DB GUI for Subclipse/SVN/Subversion or for Team Explorer Everywhere/TFS/Team Foundation Server. Installing a SVN or TFS plug-in is optional. You can also choose to work directly with SCM applications.  Note that Git functionality is already included, so you do NOT need to install any plug-ins if you use Git as your source control.

  4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation and restart Liquibase Business. 

6. Install JDBC Drivers in Liquibase Business for Command Line Operations

For command line operations, typically for automation tools, Datical DB needs to have JDBC database drivers installed in "REPL" directory.

  1. Ensure that "hammer" is in your PATH environment variable. Hammer is installed in <Datical_Install_Directory>\repl. For example, C:\Apps\DaticalDB\repl

  2. To add this to your PATH environment variable for this command prompt session, you would use: SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Apps\DaticalDB\repl

    • You can add  <Datical_Install_Directory>\repl in your Windows Environment variables for future command prompt sessions. Add it in the Path of the System variables.

  3. Make sure you have your Liquibase Business Composite Repo downloaded on the machine where you are installing your drivers. Assume that your composite repo filename is "DaticalDBCompositeRepo-5.12.5833.zip".

  4. Use this command to install drivers:
    hammer installDrivers jar:file:/C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads/DaticalDBCompositeRepo-5.12.5833.zip!/

  5. Check installed drivers as:
    hammer checkdrivers
