  5. Select Datical DB Drivers, then click Next

    1. If you are using Git for your source control, then Datical DB Drivers should be the only checkbox that you enable.  Do NOT enable any of the other options (such as CollabNet, SVN, GUI, REPL, eReview, JNA, Subclipse, Team Explorer).  The plugin for Git is already included in your installation, so Datical DB Drivers is the only item you need to select and install if your source control is Git.

       

  6. Install Details window. Inspect the list, then click Next

  7. Review License window. Select I accept to accept the licenses, then click Next

    • If you do not restart now, the changes take effect the next time you start the product.

Install JDBC Drivers in Liquibase Business for Command Line Operations

For command line operations, typically for automation tools, Liquibase Business needs to have JDBC database drivers installed in the "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, from command line, you would use: 
    SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Apps\DaticalDB\repl

  3. Use this command to install drivers:
    hammer installDrivers http://update.datical.com/latest/thirdparty

  4. Check installed drivers as:
    hammer checkdrivers
