The XML Extender Administration is a Java-based application which provides a graphical user interface that allows a user to easily administer their XML Extender enabled datasources. Its GUI guides the user through the task of managing their XML Extender enabled datasource by providing an easy-to-use interface to such commonly used functions as:
The XML Extender Administration and its other files are installed into a dxxadmin directory as part of the XML Extender installation.
These files are:
| <inst_dir>\dxxadmin\dxxadmin.jar | XML Extender Administration .jar file | ||
| <inst_dir>\dxxadmin\dxxadmin.cmd | Used to invoke the XML Extender Administration tool(dxxadmin for UNIX) | ||
| <inst_dir>\dxxadmin\readme.htm | This file |
All .jar files referenced in the Installation section must be added to your CLASSPATH environment variable. For example: CLASSPATH=<...existing CLASSPATH...><inst_dir>\dxxadmin\dxxadmin.jar;
If you are planning to access a remote datasource, refer to the IBM DB2 UDB manual Administration Getting Started for information on configuring db2jstrt.
For other software requirements, please refer to their corresponding readme file for instructions.
The complete filename of the main XML Extender Administration class file is: com.ibm.dxx.admin.Admin.
To invoke using the JDK, type: java -classpath %CLASSPATH% com.ibm.dxx.admin.Admin. To invoke using the JRE, type: jre -classpath %CLASSPATH% com.ibm.dxx.admin.Admin.
Optionally, you can specify the following parameters at runtime:
| url | Fully-qualified URL path to the IBM DB2 UDB datasource to connect to. For example: jdbc:db2://dxx.stl.ibm.com:8080/guidb. | ||
| userid | Userid to use to access the above datasource. For example: db2guest. | ||
| password | Password for the above userid. For example: guest. | ||
| driver | JDBC driver name for the above URL. Default: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver. |
Once displayed, follow the on-screen instructions.
1. Editing a DAD assumes all the tables and columns have been created in DB2. The tool only presents existing tables/columns for selection.
2. After adding an item in editing a DAD, the tree view does not automatically select and center at the newly added item.
Make sure adding swingall.jar to your classpath.
Make sure you update your classpath after installing JDK. e.g. For JDK 1.1.x, your classpath should contain "classes.zip".
