Considerations when using resource adapters

Some resource adapters have some unique information you will need to consider when using them.

The following resource adapters or areas related to resource adapters have some additional information worth noting:

IMS™

Since you work with a host based system with IMS, you should change the default settings for the COBOL importer. They can be changed when using the enterprise service discovery wizard or on the operating system. For example, in Windows® from the menu, select Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens. Expand Workbench and select Capabilities. Expand Advanced J2EE and select Enterprise Java in the Capabilities pane. Click OK. Again, select Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens. Expand Importer. Select COBOL. In the Platform field, select z/OS. Click OK.

JDBC

The JAR for the JDBC driver of the database system that is being used needs to be added to the classpath.

Third party libraries

If your resource adapter has third party libraries, follow these guidelines:
  • Third party library: You will need to add the library to the classpath of the connector project by importing the library into the connector project. You will then need to update the classpath of the project to include the library and export it.
  • Third party native library: You will need to check exactly where the native library should be placed. It is sometimes placed on the PATH variable of your machine. It might also be in the bin folder of the workbench. In the case of SAP, the third party library will be added to the lib folder of the application server.
