Configuring JDBC Connectivity Using the Administration Console
The Administration Console allows you to configure, manage, and monitor JDBC
connectivity. To display the tabs that you use to perform these tasks, complete the
following procedure:
1. Start the Administration Console.
2. Locate the Services node in the left pane, then expand the JDBC node.
3. Select the tab specific to the component you want to configure or manage—
Connection Pools, MultiPools, Data Source, or Tx Data Source.
4. Follow the instructions in the Online Help. For links to the Online Help, see
Table 16-19.
The following table shows the connectivity tasks, listed in typical order in which you
perform them. You may change the order; just remember you must configure an object
before associating or assigning it.
Table 16-19 JDBC Configuration Tasks
Task #
JDBC
Component/ Task
Description
1 Configure a
Connection Pool
On the Configuration tabs, you set the attributes for the
Connection Pool, such as Name, URL, and database
Properties.
2 Clone a Connection
Pool (Optional)
This task copies a Connection Pool. On the Configuration
tabs, you change Name of pool to a unique name; and
accept or change the remaining attributes. This a useful
feature when you want to have identical pool
configurations with different names. For example, you
may want to have each database administrator use a
certain pool to track individual changes to a database.
3 Configure a
MultiPool (Optional)
On the MultiPool tabs, you set the attributes for the name
and algorithm type, either High Availability or Load
Balancing. On the Pool tab, you assign the Connection
Pools to this MultiPool.
