Enabling application server connections after database failover (WebSphere 7.0)

You can enable a WebSphere® Application Server 7.0 connection to the Global Configuration Data (GCD) and object store databases after failover.

To configure database connections for failover:

  1. Log on to the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console.
  2. Navigate to Resources > JDBC > Data sources > Data Source Name > WebSphere Application Server data source properties.
  3. Select the Validate New Connections check box. Set the number of retries to 100, and set the retry interval to 3.
  4. Select the Validate existing pooled connections check box. Set the retry interval to 0.
  5. Under the validation options, enter an appropriate query for your database type. For DB2®, enter: SELECT 1 FROM sysibm.sysdummy1
  6. (Oracle RAC only) Navigate to Resources > JDBC > Data sources > Data Source Name > Custom properties, and remove the serverName and portNumber properties.
  7. Save your changes.
