Connecting to the database

The Imaging Toolkit must be able to connect to the LITJar.FDB database file.

Store LITJar.FDB in another location, and then change the following fields in config.properties:

• ApplyDatabase—Set this to “true” to use the Firebird database.

• DataHost—Specify the IP address or host name of the machine where LITJar.FDB is located.

• DataPort—If the Firebird database server is running on a port other than the default port, then specify the port number. This field is not required if using the default port.

• DataSource—Specify the absolute path of LITJar.FDB.

  Notes:

  • It is recommended that the operating system type and bit version be the same for the database server and the host computer from which the Imaging Toolkit connects to the database.
  • Linux users must change the location settings in config.properties even if storing LITJar.FDB in the same directory as LexImgTk-x.x.jar.
