title: Configure WebLogic 12c Data Source
body: <p>I have the Generic installation of Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3 on my MacBook.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to setup a Netezza datasource and I am having an issue getting it to recognize the nzjdbc.jar I am trying to use. </p>
  
  <p>Some installation paths:</p>
  
  <pre><code>WL_HOME="/Users/cpritcha/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/wlserver"
  DOMAIN_HOME="/Users/cpritcha/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/user_projects/domains/wl_server"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have my jar placed in <code>{WL_HOME}/server/lib</code> </p>
  
  <p>But when I launch </p>
  
  <pre><code>{DOMAIN_HOME}/bin/startWebLogic.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and try to configure my datasource, it says </p>
  
  <pre><code>weblogic.common.resourcepool.ResourceSystemException: Cannot load driver class org.netezza.Driver for datasource 'gdwDS'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried going to <code>startWebLogic.sh</code> and doing</p>
  
  <pre><code>SAVE_CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}:/Users/cpritcha/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/wlserver/server/lib/nzjdbc.jar" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that still had no effect. 
  Is there something I am missing? How can I make WebLogic recognize and load this 3rd Party driver?</p>
