WebSphere Adapter for JDBC

Managed (J2C) connection factory properties

Managed connection factory (MCF) configuration properties are used at run time to create an outbound connection instance with an enterprise information system. Once the MCF properties are created, they are stored in the deployment descriptor.

A J2C connection factory manages connection pooling. It provides configuration information for outbound connectivity to a single JDBC application instance from an application by way of the adapter.

When you configure the adapter, specify the properties listed in the tables below. The second and third tables in this section define the bidirectional managed (J2C) connection factory properties that need to be configured only when bidirectional text transformation has been activated.
Note: The enterprise service discovery wizard refers to these properties as managed connection properties, and the WebSphere® Process Server refers to these as (J2C) connection factory properties.
Table 1. Managed (J2C) connection factory properties for the Adapter for JDBC
Property Type Description Globalized Bidirectional transformation supported
AutoCommit Boolean Value for AutoCommit to be set on the connection. No No
DatabaseURL String Database URL used to connect to the database. Yes Yes
DataSourceJNDIName   The JNDI data source name used to establish connection to the database. If the UserName and Password properties are also set, they will also be used when establishing the connection. If not, only this property will be used. Yes No
JDBCDriverClass String JDBC driver class for the driver that is used to connect to the database. No No
Password String Password for the corresponding user name. Yes Yes
UserName String User name to log in to the enterprise information system. Yes Yes
XADataSourceName String XA datasource name to establish an XA connection to the database. No No
XADatabaseName String Database name used for the XA connection. This property must be set if you are using an IBM® DB2 database. Yes Yes

Bidirectional managed J2C connection factory properties for the Adapter for JDBC

Property Type Description
BiDiContextEIS String Defines bidirectional format for content data in all of the business object runtime instances supported by the adapter for specific connection to the EIS.
BiDiContextMetadata String Defines bidirectional format for metadata or configuration properties for specific connection to the EIS.
BiDiContextSkip Boolean Flag that controls the invocation of bidirectional support at the resource adapter level. If it equals true, the support will not be invoked. If it equals false, then the support will be invoked.
BiDiContextSpecialFormat String Specifies the category of properties subject to special treatment for all of the connector properties of the specific connection to the EIS.
DatabaseURL BiDi properties   *DatabaseURLEIS, DatabaseURLSpecialFormat (default value is JDBC_URL_SQL), DatabaseURLSkip
Password BiDi properties   *PasswordEIS, PasswordSkip
UserName BiDi properties   *UserNameEIS, UserNameSkip
XADatabaseName BiDi properties   *XADatabaseNameEIS, XADatabaseNameSkip

*The three bidirectional (BiDi) properties associated with each BiDi-supported property. These properties are described in the following table.

BiDi property Type Description

BiDiContextCP<property_
Name>EIS

String Defines bidirectional format for a specific connector configuration property for a specific connection to the EIS.

BiDiContextCP<property_
Name>SpecialFormat

String Flag that controls the invocation of bidirectional support at the connector configuration property level. If it equals true, the support will not be invoked. It if equals false, then the support will be invoked.

BiDiContextCP<property_
Name>Skip

Boolean Defines the special format for a specific connector property for a specific connection to the EIS.
