Required properties: Different
database vendors require different properties for implementations
of their JDBC drivers. Set these properties on the WebSphere Application
Server data source. Because Application Server contains templates
for many vendor JDBC implementations, the administrative console surfaces
the required properties and prompts you for them as you create a data
source. However, if you script your data access configurations, you
must consult the article Data source minimum required settings, by
vendor, for the required properties and settings options.
