Set new data source providers (JDBC providers) for application clients


We can create new data source providers, also known as JDBC providers, for the application client using the Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT).

During this task, you create new data source providers, also known as JDBC providers, for the application client. In a separate administrative task, install the Java code for the required data source provider on the client machine on which the application client resides.

Use this task to connect application clients to relational databases.

 

  1. Start the ACRCT and open the EAR file for which you want to configure the new data source provider. The EAR file contents display in a tree view.

  2. Select the JAR file in which you want to configure the new data source provider from the tree.

  3. Expand the JAR file to view its contents.

  4. Click the Data Source Providers folder. Do one of the following:

    • Right-click the folder and click New Provider.

    • Click Edit > New on the menu bar.

  5. Set the data source provider properties in the resulting property dialog.

  6. Click OK when you finish.

  7. Click File > Save on the menu bar to save the changes.
