Issue: Aim: Deployment of OpenText application in WebSphere 8.5.5.2 along with branded data direct jar VDoracle.jar. Issue: Unable to query the database to fetch the data. Throwing error even for “select” statements. Test program and war file mentioned below for your reference. Getting the below error: java.sql.SQLException: [OpenText][Oracle JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded applications. But, test connection is successful from WebSphere to database configured. In application code, doing lookup of data source (JNDI: OracleDS) and tried to fetch the record from database. Removed the ojdbc6.jar and added VDoracle.jar in JVM classpath of WebSphere. Application environment details are Windows Server 2008 R2 standard 64 bit OS WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.2 Oracle11.2 VDoracle.jar. Currently using same VDoracle.jar under the environment AIX + JBOSS + Oracle11.2 + VDoracle.jar Any configuration/code changes required under VDoracle.jar to support W2k8 R2 server + WAS 8.5.5.2 ?
