Installation prerequisites

Overview

For smooth installation of the Persistent Mobile Foundation Server Version 9.0.x, ensure that you fulfil all the software prerequisites.

Before you install the Persistent Mobile Foundation Server, you need to have the following software.

  • Database Management System (DBMS) - A DBMS is needed to store the technical data of Mobile Foundation Server components. You must use one of the supported DBMS:

    For more information about the versions of DBMS that are supported by the product, see System requirements. If you use a relational DBMS (IBM DB2, Oracle, or MySQL), you need the JDBC driver for that database during the installation process. The JDBC drivers are not provided by Mobile Foundation Server installer. Make sure that you have the JDBC driver.

    • For DB2, use the DB2 JDBC driver V4.0 (db2jcc4.jar).
    • For MySQL, use the Connector/J JDBC driver.
    • For Oracle, use the Oracle thin JDBC driver.
