WebSphere Adapter for JDBC

Setting connection properties for enterprise service discovery

After you have created the adapter project and added the database driver, you need to start the enterprise service discovery wizard for the Adapter for JDBC. You use the wizard to set the values of the connection properties for your database instance.

About this task

The enterprise service discovery process requires these properties to connect to the database for discovery and for creating the service description.

How to perform this task

  1. Start enterprise service discovery.
    1. In WebSphere® Integration Developer, switch to the Business Integration perspective by selecting Window > Open Perspective > Other. Click Business Integration (default) and click OK.
    2. Select File and right-click New > Enterprise Service Discovery.

      If Enterprise Service Discovery is not displayed, click New > Other, expand Business Integration, and click Enterprise Service Discovery. Then click Next.

    3. In the Enterprise Service Discovery window, select the option for your adapter and click Next.

      If you had not already imported the RAR file, you could click Import Resource Adapter in this window to import it.

  2. Set values of connection properties.

    You need to set the values of the Enterprise service discovery connection properties used to connect to the target EIS instance for discovery and for creating the service description. To enable bidirectional script data processing, you need to activate bidirectional transformation and set values for the bidirectional properties.

    1. In the Configure Settings for Discovery Agent window, type the values for the Connection Configuration properties.

      The required values are marked with asterisks. Type your Username, Password, Database URL, and JDBC Driver Class. Check your driver documentation for the appropriate values for Database URL and JDBC Driver Class.

    2. To activate bidirectional capability, select the check box next to BiDiTransformation. Then set the values for the bidirectional properties.

    For details on these properties, see "Enterprise service discovery connection properties" in the "Reference" section.

  3. Select logging options.

    Logging options are used to set up logging and tracing for the enterprise service discovery process only. However, the logging and tracing levels are the same as for the adapter. For details on logging and tracing levels for the adapter, see "Configuring troubleshooting tools."

    1. At the bottom of the Configure Settings for Discovery Agent window, click Show Advanced. The button changes to Hide Advanced.
    2. Under Logging options, type or browse for the output location of the log file. Select the logging and tracing levels for enterprise service discovery.
    3. Click Next.

Result

The discovery service uses the connection properties to prepare a metadata tree that is displayed for object selection and navigation.
