Select current backend ID settings

Use this page to select a backend identifier for container-managed persistence (CMP) beans that contain mappings for multiple backend databases.

This administrative console page is a step in the application installation and update wizards. To view this administrative console page, click Applications > New Application > New Enterprise Application > application_path > Next > Detailed - Show all installation options and parameters > Next > Next or Continue > Step: Select current backend ID. This page is displayed in the wizards if Database type is blank on the Provide options to perform the EJB Deploy page.

A backend can represent different database vendors, or simply alternative mappings and table qualifiers. If a Java archive (JAR) file for an enterprise bean defines CMP beans that contain mappings for multiple backend databases, you must select a current backend ID to be used when the module is installed on a deployment target. The backend ID determines the persister classes that get loaded at deployment.

Note: If any value is modified on this page, all of the metadata files related to the application are refreshed in the configuration repository.

Module

Specifies the name of the module that contains the bean.

URI

Specifies the location of the module relative to the root of the application EAR file.
