Issue
Since upgrading their MySQL Server from 5.0 to 5.6, they faces an error when testing an Account Data Collector with MySQL. The error states that it could not get data because the MySQL syntax they use is not correct and the MySQL Driver jar file 5.1.17 is not supported in MySQL Server 5.6.
Therefore, the customer downloaded the latest MySQL Driver jar file 5.1.39 to MySQL Server 5.6. Then test connection of the Account Data Collector. They currently have syntax 'SET OPTION SQL_SELECT_LIMIT=5'.
The details of the error also found in AveksaServer.log as following:

This is caused by the MySQL Driver jar file not being setting up correctly on WebLogic server.
Resolution
Refer to release notes for 'MySQL Connector/J 5.1.20' in the following link that 'MySQLSyntaxErrorException' bug due to SET OPTION syntax change was fixed in this release.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/5.1/en/news-5-1-20.html
This is the reason why MySQL Database ADC is working with MySQL connector jar 5.1.20 and above. Suggest to download the latest version of MySQL Driver jar file, e.g. 5.1.39, for MySQL Server 5.6.
There are the steps to set up the MySQL Driver jar file on WebLogic server:
- Replace the mysql-connector jars that have been installed while installing WebLogic server.
- Download the latest MySQL Driver jar file, e.g. mysql-connector-java-5.1.39.tar.gz, from here - http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ , to WebLogic Server.
- Unzip the MySQL Driver jar file.
- Change directory to $WL_HOME/server/lib (e.g. /middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/lib ): cd $WL_HOME/server/lib or cd /middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/lib
- Copy the mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar file to here.
- Remove the existing 'mysql-connector-java-commercial-5.x.x-bin' jar(s)
- Change directory to /middleware/wlserver_10.3/common/bin: cd /middleware/wlserver_10.3/common/bin
- The 'commEnv.sh' file would be found in here.
- make a backup of the 'commEnv.sh' file.
- edit the 'commEnv.sh' file by using vi editor: vi commEnv.sh
- Search for 'WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH' and add the following to it
${WL_HOME} /server/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar with ${CLASSPATHSEP} as separator: e.g
/middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar ${CLASSPATHSEP}
- Save the changes.
- Restart the WebLogic Server.
- Add the latest mysql-connector jar file to aveksaDomain's lib directory. (e.g. /domain/aveksa_UAT/lib )
- Rename the mysql-connector-java_.jar file to mysql-connector-java_.jar.old
- Copy the mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar file to here
- Restart App Server
Now the MySQl Driver jar file 5.1.39 is available to use. To configure the Account Data Collector and run the Test Connection. It should work fine.
