Note:

  • The MySQL RDS version 8 certification with the AgileApps version 10.16 is still in progress.
  • The primary difference between MySQL v8 on-premises and MySQL v8 RDS is the restricted access to the parameters on RDS, which requires certain additional configuration steps to complete the setup and data migration.
  • The deprecated ASC or DESC qualifiers for GROUP BY clauses are removed. This impacts the custom SQL used in the application and results in a database syntax error. It is recommended that the application designer reviews the custom SQL used in the application to adopt MYSQL 8.
Libraries Download the third-party libraries and save them in a folder.
You may want to integrate them into the system during the installation.
  • Download mysql-connector-java-8.0.29.jar here
