This topic describes how to connect a Container Gateway to a configured CA API Gateway MySQL database. This procedure works for Gateway v9.0 and higher.

Back up your database before making any changes.

To configure the connectivity, simply ensure that the

SSG_CLUSTER_HOST

and

SSG_CLUSTER_PASSWORD

values match those set in the configured MySQL database.

After connecting to the existing Gateway database, the Container Gateway automatically upgrades the database if the database version is lower than the version of the Container Gateway.

Ensure the

SSG_DATABASE_JDBC_URL

environment variable is set.

If you encounter problems connecting to a remote MySQL database, check that the

SSG_DATABASE_USER

and

SSG_DATABASE_PASSWORD

have the right privileges to access/modify the MySQL database.

Do not attempt to connect to a MySQL database on a Gateway earlier than version 9.0.00, as the automated upgrade will not work.
