Out of the box, UrbanCode Release uses the Derby database--no additional user actions are required. UrbanCode Release can also be used with Oracle, MySQL or MS SQL Server.
Database configuration is done by modifying parameters in the
server.properties file, which is located at
user_home_directory/.urbancode/urelease/conf. On Unix, the
user_home_directory is /home; on Windows it is determined by the user profile, which typically is \Users\current_user.
Because UrbanCode Release is deployed as a Tomcat web application, the conf
file will not be created until UrbanCode Release is deployed, which means that the
configuration changes cannot be made until after initial deployment.
To change the database, first deploy UrbanCode Release as described above, then shutdown down the Tomcat server. Next, modify
the conf file following the instructions below for your database type. Once configured, restart Tomcat.
