# Verification checklist for JBoss connection tasks This checklist for JBoss connection tasks will help you verify that you have completed all items needed before starting the Pentaho Server. | Tasks completed | See section ... | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Download the JDBC driver software component to the correct directory, then create the `module.xml` files for each database. | [Install JDBC driver as a module in JBoss](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss) | | Create a module file for the database which hosts the Pentaho Repository (either PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle), as well as for HSQLDB. | [Create module file for Pentaho Repository](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-1-create-module-file-for-pentaho-repository-database) | | Create a module file for the HSQL database. The version of HSQLDB used should be 2.3.2. | [Create module file for HSQL database](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-2-create-module-file-for-hsql-database) | | Create a module file for the H2 database. | [Create module file for H2 database](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-3-create-module-file-for-h2-database) | | Use JNDI to specify port, driver, user name, and password information for the Audit and Quartz databases in your Pentaho Repository. | [Define JNDI database connection](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-4-define-jndi-database-connection-information-in-jboss) | | Add JBoss deployment structure file to the `pentaho.war` file to control class loading, prevent automatic dependencies from being added, add dependencies, define additional modules, change isolated class loading behavior, and add additional resource roots to a module. | [Add JBoss deployment structure file to Pentaho WAR file](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-7-add-jboss-deployment-structure-file-to-a-.war-file) | | Remove JNDI resource-references in the `web.xml` file so that the Pentaho Server will operate properly. | [Remove JNDI resource references in JBoss](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-6-remove-jndi-resource-references-in-jboss) | | Update files so that referenced JNDI data sources conform to JBoss standards. | [Update JNDI data source reference to conform to JBoss standards](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-8-update-jndi-data-source-reference-to-conform-to-jboss-standards) | | Configure the Pentaho Platform in JBoss by adding a specified list of packages. | [Enable JBoss Classloader to load classes from Sun JDK](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/install-jdbc-driver-as-a-module-in-jboss/step-9-enable-jboss-classloader-to-load-classes-from-sun-jdk) | | Adjust the default time for deployment by editing the `standalone.xml` file. | [Increase the amount of time JBoss allows for Pentaho Server deployment](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/prepare-jboss-web-application-servers/step-1-increase-the-amount-of-time-jboss-allows-for-pentaho-server-deployment) | | Disable the JBoss RESTEasy scan to load Pentaho REST services correctly. | [Disable the JBoss RESTEasy scan](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/prepare-jboss-web-application-servers/step-2-disable-the-jboss-resteasy-scan) | | Define the location of the Pentaho solutions directory in the `web.xml` file to deploy JBoss correctly. | [Set the location of the Pentaho Solutions directory](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/prepare-jboss-web-application-servers/step-3-set-the-location-of-the-solutions-directory) | | Modify the JBoss startup script to match the Pentaho Server's memory resource requirements. If this step is not performed, the Pentaho Server will not start. | [Configure JBoss settings](https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/manual-installation/manual-installation-process/prepare-jboss-connections-and-web-app-servers/prepare-jboss-web-application-servers/step-4-configure-jboss-settings) |
