Verifying a connection

Many connection problems can be easily fixed by verifying some configuration parameters. There are some steps that you must complete to enable a successful connection.

About this task

If your connection is still not successful after completing these steps and reviewing the applicable information, check the SystemOut.log for warning or exception messages. Then use the technical support search function to find known problems. See the IBM Suggests section of this article for a link to the IBM.com Support and downloads page, which contains the search function.

Procedure

  1. Create the authentication data alias.
  2. Create the JDBC provider.
  3. Create a data source.
  4. Save the data source.
  5. If you created a new authentication alias, restart the server for which you need to verify connectivity.
  6. Test the connection

    You can test your connection from the data source collection view or the data source details view. Access either view in the administrative console, and then select a connection from the list. Click the Test Connection button on the connection.
