6.6.38.1.1: Configuring URL resources with the Java administrative console

URL resources allow you to define specific locations for a resource on a network.

To create a URL resource, click Console -> Wizards -> Create URL Resource from the console menu bar. This leads to the URL Resource task wizard.

Alternatively, use the Console -> New menu options pertaining to URL resources.

Using the URL Resource wizard

You use a URL Resource wizard to define a resource that uses the Default URL Provider. Using the wizard sets basic properties pertaining to URL resources. To set other property values for URL resources, use the properties dialogs for URL resources.

Naming the URL resource and specifying its URL string

On the Specifying the URL Resource panel:

  1. Name your resource.
  2. Describe your resource.
  3. Specify the string for the URL. A sample string is http://www.ibm.com.

    View URL resources properties help

  4. Click Next.

Completing the URL resource

The final panel lists the URL resource name and the URL string.

If you do not want to change the values specified, click Finish. The wizard will define a URL resource with the values you specified, and display a message indicating whether the resource was successfully created. Your specified URL will be created using the Default URL Provider. If the wizard encounters an error, a message will display explaining why a URL resource could not be defined.

To change the values specified, click Back to return to the appropriate panel(s), make any needed changes, and then click Finish on this panel.
