Why and when to perform this task
To access a database you must first create a JDBC provider. You can do this from the administrative console. You need to know where your database software is installed and where the drivers are located.Steps for this task
Do not change the name of the JDBC provider if you create it by selecting an existing JDBC provider from the drop-down list. This restriction does not apply if you are using the User-Defined JDBC Provider feature and supplying the provider information.
Note: Using the administrative console to create a DB2 JDBC provider
for a zSeries server causes an exception to occur.
When you use the administrative console to create a DB2 for z/OS JDBC Provider or a DB2 for z/OS JDBC Provider (XA), an exception occurs with the message Name is not a valid entry. To work around this problem, choose the normal DB2 JDBC Provider to create a JDBC provider. They both use the same implementation class. When you create a data source under this provider, change the data store helper value from DB2DataStoreHelper to DB2390DataStoreHelper. Otherwise, your database access does not work.
