Test data source connections using scripting

 

You can test connections for data sources with the wsadmin tool and scripting. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to test a data source to ensure a connection to the database.

 

Procedure

1. Identify the DataSourceCfgHelper MBean and assign it to the dshelper variable.

   • Use Jacl:

     set ds [$AdminConfig getid /DataSource:DS1/]
     $AdminControl testConnection $ds
     

   • Use Jython:

     ds = AdminConfig.getid('/DataSource:DS1/')
     AdminControl.testConnection(ds)
     

   Example output:

   WASX7217I: Connection to provided datasource was successful.
   

2. Test the connection. The following example invokes the testConnectionToDataSource operation on the MBean, passing in the classname, userid, password, database name, JDBC driver class path, language, and country.

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminControl invoke $dshelper testConnectionToDataSource 
   "COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2XADataSource db2admin db2admin 
   {{databaseName sample}} c:/sqllib/java/db2java.zip en US"
   

   Use Jython:

   print AdminControl.invoke(dshelper, 'testConnectionToDataSource',  
   'COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2XADataSource dbuser1 dbpwd1 
   "{{databaseName jtest1}}" c:/sqllib/java12/db \"\" \"\"')
   

   Example output:

   WASX7217I: Connection to provided data source was successful.
