-------------------------------------
Summary: Automate the installation of the SQL Server JDBC driver
Key: AMBARI-7929
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-7929
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Task
Components: ambari-server
Affects Versions: branch-windows-dev
Environment: Windows Server 64-bit
Reporter: Florian Barca
Assignee: Florian Barca
Fix For: branch-windows-dev
The SQL Server JDBC driver is only available as a self-extracting GUI
application, which is unsuitable for download and install via the Ambari
services. The styrategy to overcome this limitation is as follows:
1. Require the user to install the SQL Server JDBC Driver manually. This will
comply to the EULA, and will give us green light to distribute the bits to all
the machines in the cluster.
2. Pick up the bits and save them in the Server's resources directory.
3. The Agent will download the bits from the resources directory, and drop them
on the machine in a standard directory, where they will be visible to all the
components in the HDP stack.
This is actually the same approach as the Linux one, the only difference will
be that the driver comes in 2 pieces - the sqljdbc4.jar file, and the
sql_auth.dll shared lib, which is needed for integrated authentication, and
which needs to be registered in the PATH environment variable (which is
something the Ambari Agent will be in charge of).
