If you intend to use a standalone WebSphere® Adapter you should install
it, as described here. You can alternatively use an embedded adapter, which
is installed automatically as part of the installation of the associated application.
Before you begin
Note: WebSphere Adapters
should be embedded in applications. Standalone WebSphere Adapters are not support
in WebSphere Process Server v6.0.
These instructions are for reference only.
You should configure the
database before installing the adapter.
Why and when to perform this task
You must have access to, and be part of the necessary security role
for, the administrative console to perform this task.
Steps for this task
- Open the Install RAR file dialog window. On the administrative
console:
- Expand Resources
- Click Resource Adapters
- Select the scope at which you want to define this resource adapter.
(This scope becomes the scope of your connection factory). You can choose
cell, node, cluster, or server.
- Click Install RAR
A window opens in which you can install a JCA connector and create,
for it, a WebSphere Adapter.
You can also use the New button, but the New button
creates only a new resource adapter (the JCA connector must already be installed
on the system).Note: When installing a RAR file using this dialog, the scope
you define on the Resource Adapters page has no effect on where the RAR file
is installed. You can install RAR files only at the node level. The node on
which the file is installed is determined by the scope on the Install RAR
page. (The scope you set on the Resource Adapters page determines the scope
of the new resource adapters, which you can install at the server, node, or
cell level.)
- Install the RAR file
From the dialog, install the WebSphere Adapter
in the following manner:
- Browse to the location of the JCA connector. If the
RAR file is on the local workstation select Local Path and
browse to find the file. If the RAR file is on a network server, select Server
path and specify the fully qualified path to the file.
- Click Next
- Enter the resource adapter name and any other properties needed
under General Properties. If you install a J2C Resource Adapter that includes
native path elements, consider the following: If you have more than one native
path element, and one of the native libraries (native library A) is dependent
on another library (native library B), then you must copy native library B
to a system directory. Because of limitations on most UNIX® systems,
an attempt to load a native library does not look in the current directory.
- Click OK.
