Precedence of Property Specifications
The Type 4 JDBC driver properties configure the driver. These properties can be specified in a data

Java properties have the form: key=value

values.
Where To Set Properties
For connections made through a DataSource or a ConnectionPoolDataSource, set the

-Dt4sqlmx.properties=location_of_the_properties_file_on_disk
For example,
-Dt4sqlmx.properties=C:\temp\t4props
To create the file, use the editor of your choice on your workstation to type in the property values. The
entries in properties file must have a property_name=property_value value-pair format:
