Resource environment references

Use this page to designate how the resource environment references of application modules map to remote resources, which are represented in the product as resource environment entries.

To view this administrative console page, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Resource environment references.

You can also view this page during the Map resource environment references to resources step when you install an application.

Each row of the table depicts a resource environment reference within a specific module of your application. If you bound any references to resource environment entries during application assembly, you see the JNDI names of those resource environment entries in the applicable rows.

To set the mapping relationships between your resource environment references and resource environment entries:
  1. Select a row. Be aware that if you check multiple rows on this page, the resource mapping target that you select in step 2 applies to all of those references.
  2. Click Browse to select a resource environment entry from the new page that is displayed, the Available Resources page. The Available Resources page shows all resource environment entries that are available mapping targets for your application references.
  3. Click Apply. The console displays the Resource environment references page again. In the rows that you previously selected, you now see the JNDI name of the new resource mapping target.
  4. Repeat the previous steps as necessary.
  5. Click OK. You now return to the general configuration page for your enterprise application.

Button Resulting action
Set Multiple JNDI Names Displays a list of JNDI names. Select a JNDI name to set the same JNDI name on multiple resources with one operation. The selected JNDI name is applied to the Target Resource JNDI Name field of all the selected rows of the table.
Use Java EE Default Bindings For data source, connection factory, and work manager resources, sets the resource JNDI name to the default Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) binding for the resource type. The JNDI name is applied to the Target Resource JNDI Name field of the table.

The resource module must be installed on a server on a version 9.0 node.
