****************************************************************
Users of WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390
who wish to connect to a non-390 datasource using a
vendor-supplied Type 4 JDBC connector driver must currently code
their application with no support from WebSphere V4.0.1 for z/OS
and OS/390 Systems Management.

Support is needed which will allow the ability to lookup these
non-390 datasources in the java:comp/env namespace as well as
the ability to bind this logical datasource resource reference
to a physical datasource configured in the System Management End
User Interface (Administration and Operations applications),
also known as the SM EUI (as a J2EE Resource Instance).
Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
Support has been provided which allows users the ability to
deploy a non-390 datasource corresponding to a vendor-supplied
Type 4 JDBC driver, as a resource reference.

The new support includes the ability to lookup these non-390
datasources in the java:comp/env namespace as well as the
ability to bind this logical datasource resource reference to a
physical datasource configured in the System Management End User
Interface (Administration and Operations applications), also
known as the SM EUI (as a J2EE Resource Instance).

Since WebSphere V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 can not know all the
necessary datasource properties required by diverse,
vendor-supplied Type 4 JDBC connectors, WebSphere has supplied a
set of samples to be modified based on the information supplied
by the Type 4 JDBC connector vendor, in order to enable
java:comp/env datasource lookup to complete successfully.

This support does not include the ability to participate in a
global transaction and be a part of 2-phase commit/rollback
transaction processing, and also does not include the other
qualities of service (such as Resource Authentication) provided
by the WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390
connection Management function.

A separate document, entitled "WebSphere Application Server
V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390:  Using Type 4 JDBC Connectors,"
