Driver manager
The Driver Manager within the Configurations section of IBM® watsonx.data provides the functionality to add external JDBC drivers (in .jar file format) required for connecting to HANA (using ngdbc 2.17.12) and MySQL (using mysql-connector/j 8.2.0) within watsonx.data.
The Driver Manager now enables both administrator and non-administrator users to view driver details for monitoring purposes, while maintaining appropriate access controls restricted to administrator users only.
Procedure
To view the details of active drivers, do the following:
-
Log in to the watsonx.data console.
-
From the navigation menu, select Configurations and click Driver manager.
-
Click Add driver and upload files (.jar file). Then click Add.
This action can only be performed by a admin user. The non-admin users will have only the read-only access.
-
When the driver validation is completed, click the overflow menu against the driver to assign it to an engine.
