In order to connect with Oracle Database or to connect with TIBCO EMS, you need to make sure that required drivers are available and correctly configured at required path/location. In this post, I will explain steps to Install EMS Driver and Oracle driver in TIBCO BusinessWorks 6.
How to Install Oracle Driver in TIBCO BW 6
In order to use Oracle database and to be able to connect with Oracle Database for BW Agent setup or to connect with database from your application, you need to download Oracle driver Jar file (e.g. ojdbc7.jar) from Oracle official sources and then place this ojdbc jar file in the following path:
BW6_HOME\config\drivers\shells\jdbc.oracle.runtime\runtime\plugins\com.tibco.bw.jdbc.datasourcefactory.oracle\lib
After placing jar file in above folder, you need to run below command inside bin folder of bw:
bwinstall oracle-driver
Above command if executed successfully, will install required oracle driver and you should be able to proceed for using Oracle database for your bwagent setup or to use oracle database in your BW 6 applications.
How to Install TIBCO EMS Driver in TIBCO BW 6
Once you have setup your BW 6 environment and installed TIBCO EMS as well, you won’t be able to directly connect with TIBCO EMS if required drivers are not installed. For installing EMS driver in TIBCO BusinessWorks 6, run below command from BW bin folder:
bwinstall ems-driver
You will be prompted to provide path to the plugins folder. You should provide path based on your EMS installation. For example, if you have EMS 8.6 installed in TIBCO_HOME in your C driver, path should be provided as below:
C:\TIBCO_HOME\ems\8.6\components\shared\1.0.0\plugins
Required EMS driver will get installed once above command runs successfully and you will be able to connect with EMS now.
Once you have both Oracle and EMS drivers installed, now you are good to go for setting up bw agent with dbems technology type.

Dear Prasad,
Make sure that you run your commands in CMD as administrator.
Hello,
I am not able to connect to ems in tibco bw 6.
i have tried to add plugins as mentioned above. But
componets folder is not present under tibco-home/ems/8.3/
I have installed ems 8.3 and BW 6.5
can anyone plz help me in this.
If components folder is missing under ems, here is the procedure i followed to fix the above issue.
I found the below plugins under TIBCO-HOME\components\shared\1.0.0\plugins\ location.
Copy the components folder from TIBCO-HOME to EMS-HOME
and
run bwinstall ems-driver in tibco bin folder
and provide C:\TIBCO_HOME\ems\8.6\components\shared\1.0.0\plugins
as mentoned above.
It worked for me.
Thank you so much Ajmal abbasi for you valuable information.
