16 Managing JDBC Connectivity
16-18 Administration Guide
The Optional column indicates whether a particular data source property is optional or 
not. Properties marked with Y* are mapped to the corresponding fields of the Oracle 
xa_open string (value of the openString property) as listed in Table 16-14. If they 
are not specified, their default values are taken from the 
openString property. If they 
are specified, their values should match those specified in the 
openString property. 
If the properties do not match, a 
SQLException is thrown when you attempt to make 
an XA connection.
Mandatory properties marked with N* are also mapped to the corresponding fields of 
the Oracle 
xa_open string. Specify these properties when specifying the Oracle 
xa_open string. If they are not specified or if they are specified but do not match, an 
SQLException is thrown when you attempt to make an XA connection.
Property Names marked with ** are supported, but not used, by WebLogic Server.
