Resource environment references
To designate how the resource environment references of application modules map to remote resources, which are represented in the product as resource environment entries.
To view this admin console page, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise apps > application_name > Resource environment references.
Each row of the table depicts a resource environment reference within a specific module of the application. If we bound any references to resource environment entries during application assembly, you see the JNDI names of those resource environment entries in the applicable rows.
To set the mapping relationships between the resource environment references and resource environment entries:
- Select a row. Be aware that if we check multiple rows on this page, the resource mapping target that you select in step 2 applies to all of those references.
- Click Browse to select a resource environment entry from the new page that is displayed, the Available Resources page. The Available Resources page shows all resource environment entries that are available mapping targets for the application references.
- Click Apply. The console displays the Resource environment references page again. In the rows that you previously selected, you now see the JNDI name of the new resource mapping target.
- Repeat the previous steps as necessary.
- Click OK. You now return to the general configuration page for your enterprise application.
