6.6.14.1.1: Configuring new database connections with the Java administrative console
The product offers a couple of approaches to configuring JDBC drivers
and data sources, the resources necessary to allow applications to connect to databases:
- By clicking Console -> Tasks -> Create Data Source from the
console menu bar.
- Using menus on resources in the Topology and Type trees (see Related information)
The first two methods lead to the Create Data Source
task wizard, for which detailed help is provided here.
- Follow the wizard instructions. On the first page, specify
whether to use a JDBC driver you have already configured, or
to configure a new one as part of the wizard.
- Click Next to proceed. If you specified to use an
existing JDBC driver, skip to the next step in these instructions.
Otherwise, complete the next two panels to configure a new
JDBC driver:
Click Next to proceed. Note, the wizard will not let you proceed until the "Jar file"
field contains a value.
- Specify a name by which to administer the data source. Specify
the name of the database to which the data source should provide
connections.
View data access properties help
- Click Finish.
