Viewing data source properties from remote admin console in WebSphere Application Server 4.0.x
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
In WebSphere Application Server 4.0.x, the administrative console may be launched from a remote machine (other than the one on which the admin server is installed). It is not necessary to perform a full WebSphere installation on the remote machine; only the admin console, developer tools, and JDK must be installed from the installation CD. However, if this is done, the properties of data sources are not shown correctly.

When creating a new data source from the remote console, no custom properties appear. However, a new custom property can be added. For a data source that already exists, the red asterisk that should appear next to required custom properties does not appear.
 
Solution
To solve this problem, the cm.jar file must be copied from the WebSphere/AppServer/lib directory of the WebSphere server to the WebSphere/AppServer/lib directory of the remote console machine. After doing this, the data source properties will be shown correctly.
