Install J2EE Connector resource adapters

 

Procedure

  1. Click Resources.

  2. Click Resource Adapters.

  3. Select the scope at which you want to define this resource adapter. (This scope becomes the scope of your connection factory.) We can choose cell, node, cluster, or server. For more information, see Administrative console scope settings.

  4. Click Install RAR. The Install RAR button opens a dialog that enables you to install a J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) connector and create a resource adapter for it. We 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. We 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 install at the server, node, or cell level.)

  5. Browse to find the appropriate RAR file.

    • If your RAR file is located on your local workstation, select Local path and browse to find the file.

    • If your RAR file is located on your server, select Server path and specify the fully qualified path to the file.

  6. Click Next.

  7. 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 copy native library B to a system directory. Because of limitations on Windows NT and most Unix platforms, an attempt to load a native library does not look in the current directory.

  8. Click OK.
