Oracle database and JDK compatibility

If your Oracle database reports that it is down or in fault, follow this procedure to upgrade the database.

Oracle versions 12.1 and later are compatible with ojdbc6.jar for JDK 6 and ojdbc7.jar for JDK 7. Oracle no longer supports ojdb14.jar (for JDK 1.4) or lower for clients to connect through the authenticated protocol of a 12.1 version database. For up-to-date Oracle compatibility information, refer to https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/faq-jdbc.html

Perform the following steps:

Download the latest software from Oracle. For example, ojdbc8.tar.gz and extract the compressed file.
Paste the extracted .jar file into niagara_home/jre/lib/ext.
Start or restart the Supervisor station.
Ping the Oracle database.
