Step 4: Setting up a data source and connection pool
You must create a JDBC provider (data source) and connection
pool for WebSphere® Application Server.
Creating a JDBC provider
To enable Rule Execution Server, you
create a JDBC provider in WebSphere Application Server, as
the first step in creating a data source.
Creating J2C authentication data
In WebSphere Application Server, you
can secure your enterprise information system by creating J2C authentication
data.
Setting custom properties
The database to which you want to connect might require
that you set some custom properties.
Testing the connection to the database
After you have created a data source and connection pool,
and set the custom properties, you can test the connection to your
database.
