3.4.2.3 Configuring an External Database Provider for Standalone Mode

You can create an external database provider in the Oracle Content Server instance for standalone applications to directly connect to a database with JDBC without using the SystemDatabase provider for the Oracle WebLogic Server data source. For standalone applications to use the OracleTextSearch feature, you must configure the external database provider to include the JDBC connection information. By default, the configuration of an incoming provider does not include values for JDBC Driver and JDBC Connection String. You must add these values, but be careful not to change the provider name because you cannot rename an existing provider. To change the name of a provider, you would need to delete it and then add it again.
