Deploying data access applications

Why and when to perform this task

Before installing a data access application into the WebSphere Application Server environment, you must first ensure that the appropriate database objects are available. This action includes creating and configuring any databases or tables required, setting necessary configuration parameters to handle expected load, and configuring any necessary JDBC providers and data source objects for servlets, enterprise beans, and client applications to use.

Steps for this task

  1. If your database configuration does not already exist:
    1. Create a database to hold the data.
    2. Create tables required by your application.
    3. See Minimum required properties for vendor-specific data sources for certain vendor's databases requirements.
  2. See Creating a JDBC provider using the administrative console if your enterprise application contains a Web application or an EJB application that uses connection pooling to access a relational database.
