How to Configure a Berkeley DB XML Connection

Oxygen XML Editor supports Berkeley DB XML versions 2.3.10, 2.4.13, 2.4.16 & 2.5.16. The steps for configuring a connection to a Berkeley DB XML database are as follows:

  1. Open the Preferences dialog box and go to Data Sources.
  2. Click the New button in the Connections panel.
  3. Enter a unique name for the connection.
  4. Select one of the previously configured data sources from the Data Source drop-down list.
  5. Enter the connection details.
    1. Set the path to the Berkeley DB XML database directory in the Environment home directory field. Use a directory with write access. DO NOT use the installation directory where Berkeley DB XML is installed if you do not have write access to that directory.
    2. Select the Verbosity level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, or ERROR.
    3. Optionally, you can select the check-box Join existing environment.
      If checked, an attempt is made to join an existing environment in the specified home directory and all the original environment settings are preserved. If that fails, try reconfiguring the connection with this option unchecked.
  6. Click the OK button to finish the connection configuration.
