6.6.14.0.1: Properties of data sources

Connection timeout
Specifies the maximum time in seconds that requests for a connection wait if the maximum number of connections is reached and all connections are in use.

This value must be a positive integer.

Database Name
Specifies the name of the database used to store entity bean data.

For example, enter WAS. This would make your data source point to jdbc:db2:WAS.

Driver
Specifies the name of the JDBC driver that this data source is using.

Idle timeout
Specifies the maximum time in seconds that an idle (unallocated) connection can remain in the pool before being removed to free resources.

This value must be a positive integer.

JNDI Name, JNDI Binding Path
The JNDI name for the resource, including any naming subcontexts. This name is used as the linkage between the platform's binding information for resources defined in the a client applications deployment descriptor and actual resources bound into JNDI by the platform.
Maximum connection pool size
Specifies the maximum number of connections that can be in the pool. If the maximum number of connections is reached and all connections are in use, additional requests for a connection wait up to the number of seconds specified in the Connection timeout property.

This value must be a positive integer.

Minimum connection pool size
Specifies the minimum number of connections in the pool.

This value must be a positive integer.

Name
Specifies a name by which to administer the data source.

It is recommended that you enter a name that is suggestive of the database you will use to store entity bean data, such as WASDataSource, where WAS is the database name. The JNDI lookup for such a data source would be jdbc/WASDataSource.

Orphan timeout
Specifies the maximum time in seconds that an inactive (but allocated) connection can remain in the pool before being removed.

This value must be a positive integer.

  The administrative server and console can exhibit odd behavior in response to database URLs that are not valid. When you use a database URL, ensure you have typed it correctly.
