Use Case: Individual User Without Access to the Internet

This method is necessary if you do not have access to the internet from the host where you are installing Datical DB. 

You follow the same steps as Using the GUI and the Update Site to Install Liquibase Enterprise on Windows Systems, but you set up the composite repository as the installation repository to use when you install database drivers and SCM plug-ins. 

Installing Datical DB

1. Download Installation Files

On a host that has internet access, download the following items from https://download.liquibase.com/:

  • Windows installer (.exe file) - Example: DaticalDB-win-x86_64-5.12.5833.exe
  • Composite repository - Example: DaticalDBCompositeRepo-5.12.5833.zip

2. Move Installation Files to the Target Host

Move the files to a directory on the Windows host where you are installing Datical DB.

Do not extract files from the composite repository. You work with the zip file. 

3. Verify the JRE Version on the Installation Host (Liquibase Enterprise v7.18 and below)

Run the following "java -version" command from a command prompt to check that you are running a supported version of the JRE (version 7.18.x)

# java –version
java version "1.8.0_xx"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_xxx)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode, sharing)

4. Install Datical DB Clients

Use the GUI installation process. Run the .exe file you downloaded to perform the manual installation of the Datical DB Clients. See Using the GUI and the Update Site to Install Liquibase Enterprise on Windows Systems for the steps. 

DaticalDB-win-x86_64-5.12.5833.exe

5. Configure the GUI to Use the Composite Repository

Configure the GUI to use the Composite Repository as the installation repository for the remaining components. 

  1. Start the Datical DB GUI from the Windows Start Menu
  2. In the Datical DB 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, Datical DB Composite Repository 
    • Location: Click Archive, then use the file browser to select the composite repository zip file that you downloaded.  

6. Install Database Drivers and SCM Plug-ins for the Eclipse GUI

  1. In the Datical DB window, select Help > Install New Software. You see the Available Software window.
  2. To the right of the Work with field, click the menu to see the list of repositories. 
    • Select composite repository you added, Datical DB Composite Repository
  3. Select Liquibase Drivers, then click Next.
    • Do not select any other options.
  4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation and restart Datical DB. 

7. Install JDBC Drivers in Datical DB for Command Line Operations

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

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

To add this to your PATH environment variable, from command line, you would use: SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Apps\DaticalDB\repl

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

Use this command to install drivers:

hammer installDrivers jar:file:/C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads/DaticalDBCompositeRepo-5.12.5833.zip!/


Check installed drivers as:

hammer checkdrivers
