Data source (WebSphere Application Server Version 4) settings

Use this page to create a Version 4.0 style data source. This data source uses the WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 connection manager architecture. All of your EJB1.x modules must use this data source.

To view this administrative console page, click Resources > JDBC Providers > JDBC_provider > Data Sources (Version 4) > data_source.

Configuration tab

Scope

Specifies the scope of the JDBC provider that encapsulates the driver implementation classes to support this data source. Only applications that are installed within this scope can use this data source.

Name

Specifies the display name for the resource.

For example, you can set this field to Test Data Source.

Data type String
JNDI Name

Specifies the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name.

Distributed computing environments often employ naming and directory services to obtain shared components and resources. Naming and directory services associate names with locations, services, information, and resources.

Naming services provide name-to-object mappings. Directory services provide information on objects and the search tools required to locate those objects.

There are many naming and directory service implementations, and the interfaces to them vary. JNDI provides a common interface that is used to access the various naming and directory services.

For example, you can use the name jdbc/markSection.

If you leave this field blank a JNDI name is generated from the name of the data source. For example, a data source name of markSection generates a JNDI name of jdbc/markSection.

After you set this value, save it, and restart the server, you can see this string when you run the dump name space tool.

Data type String
Description

Specifies a text description for the resource.

Data type String
Category

Specifies a category string that you can use to classify or group the resource.

Data type String
Database Name

Specifies the name of the database that this data source accesses.

For example, you can call the database SAMPLE.

Data type String
Default User ID

Specifies the user name to use for connecting to the database.

For example, you can use the ID db2admin.

Data type String
Default Password

Specifies the password used for connecting to the database.

For example, you can use the password db2admin.
