Starting the H2 server

Last updated: 9/10/2025

Procedure

Stop Tomcat service if it is running.
Unzip your H2 database server package to any of your local drives.
The latest H2 database server package is available at http://www.h2database.com/html/download.html.
Open a CMD window, navigate to the drive where the H2 database server package was unzipped, and change directory to h2\bin, which contains the h2*.jar file.

Start the H2 server as a service using the following command:

java -cp h2*.jar org.h2.tools.Server -tcp -tcpAllowOthers
-tcpPort <port_number>

Now other users can access the H2 database, but you still need to edit the database URL to make Talend Administration Center work.
