Configuring new data sources using wsadmin

You can configure new data sources using the wsadmin scripting tool.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the topic Starting the wsadmin scripting client for more information.

In WebSphere® Application Server, any JDBC driver properties that are required by your database vendor must be set as data source properties. Consult the article Data source minimum required settings, by vendor to see a list of these properties and setting options, ordered by JDBC provider type. Consult your database vendor documentation to learn about available optional data source properties. Script them as custom properties after you create the data source. In the Related links section of this article, click the "Configuring new data source custom properties using scripting" link for more information.

About this task

There are two ways to perform this task; use either of the following wsadmin scripting objects: AdminConfig gives you more configuration control than the AdminTask object. When you create a data source using AdminTask, you supply universally required properties only, such as a JNDI name for the data source. (Consult the article JDBCProviderManagement command group for the AdminTask object for more information.) Other properties that are required by your JDBC driver are assigned default values by Application Server. You cannot use AdminTask commands to set or edit these properties; you must use AdminConfig commands.

Procedure

What to do next

To set additional properties that are supported by your JDBC driver, script them as data source custom properties.
