JCA life cycle management
Use this page to perform JCA life cycle management operations on data source and connection factory MBeans. With these management operations, we can control the runtime status of the corresponding data source and connection factory resources.
We can view this console page in different locations, depending on whether to manage data sources or J2C connection factories. For example:
- For connection factories: Click Resources > Resource adapters > J2C connection factories. Select the connection factory configurations to manage, and click Manage state.
- For data sources, click Resources > JDBC > Data sources. Select the data source configurations to manage, and click Manage state.
Guidelines for using this console page:
- The table displays a list of MBeans that correspond to the data sources or connection factories in the selection from the previous console page. These MBeans are compatible with Version 6.0.2 and later of the application server.
- We can only perform JCA life cycle management actions on MBeans that are in the active state. In this context, an MBean is considered active when an application performs a JNDI name space lookup on the corresponding data source or connection factory resource.
- Pausing an MBean halts outbound communication to the backend, such as a database. This action affects all applications that use the resource on the selected server.
Pause
Specifies to pause the MBean that is selected. Pausing an MBean halts outbound communication to the back-end resource, and this action affects all applications that use the resource on the selected server.
Resume
Specifies to resume the MBean that is selected. Resuming an MBean enables outbound communication to the back-end resource. This action affects all applications that use the resource on the selected server.
Purge
Specifies to purge the contents of the connection pool for the data source or connection factory specified. Purging the pool does not affect ongoing transactions.
Name (JNDI name)
Name of the connection factory or data source configuration, followed by the JNDI name in parenthesis.
Running object scope
Server running the connection factory or data source MBean.
Status
State of the connection factory or data source MBean.
Possible values:
State Indications ACTIVE
- The resource that corresponds with the MBean is ready to provide an application with connections to a backend.
- An application performed a JNDI namespace lookup on this resource.
We can apply the JCA life cycle management operation of PAUSE to an MBean in this state.
PAUSED
- All outbound communication to the backend through the corresponding resource is stopped, as a result of a JCA life cycle management operation that was applied previously to the MBean.
- An application performed a JNDI namespace lookup on the resource.
We can apply the JCA life cycle management operation of RESUME to an MBean in this state.
NOT_ACCESSED
- The MBean exists on the specified server, but no applications performed a JNDI name space lookup on the corresponding connection factory or data source.
We cannot apply JCA life cycle management operations to an MBean in this state.
