Configuring connection factories for WebSphere Adapters within applications

When a WebSphere Adapter is embedded in the application use the following instructions to configure your connection factory.

Before you begin

This task is to change the configuration of an existing connection factory. As part of the task to install an application with an embedded WebSphere Adapter, you create a new connection factory or select an existing connection factory. For information about installing resource adapters, see Installing applications with embedded WebSphere Adapters.

You must have the necessary permissions to edit the settings on the administrative console in order to perform this task.

Why and when to perform this task

If you want to change the configuration or custom properties of a connection factory for an embedded WebSphere Adapter, you can do so when you install the application or later through the administrative console.

To configure a connection factory for an embedded WebSphere Adapter after installing the application, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Display the connection factory.
    1. In the navigation pane, click Applications > Enterprise Applications
    2. In the content pane, under Related Items, click Connector Modules
    3. On the Connector Modules page, select the name of an RAR file.
    4. Under Additional Properties, click Resource Adapter.
    5. Under Additional Properties, click J2C Connection Factories.
    6. On the Connection Factory collection page, click the name of the connection factory.
  2. Optional: On the Connection Factory settings page, change the general property values. You can change properties such as time-outs, purge policies, authentication aliases, and connection limits.
  3. Optional: Change any connection pool properties of your connection factory.

    From the J2C Connection Factory Collection panel, complete the following steps:

    1. Open the Connection Pool settings panel Under Additional Properties, click Connection pool properties.
    2. Change the values of any properties by clicking on the property name.
    3. Confirm these changes to the connection pool settings. Click OK.
  4. Optional: Change any advanced properties. You can change the value of properties for the management of cached handles and logging of missed transactions.

    From the Connection Factory Settings panel of the new connection factory:

    1. Under Additional Properties, click Advanced Properties.
    2. Click any property name to change its value.
      Note: UserName and Password, if present, are overridden by the component-managed authentication alias you specified in a previous step.
    3. Click Save.
  5. Optional: Change any custom properties.

    From the Connection Factory Settings panel of the new connection factory:

    1. Under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties.
    2. Click any property name to change its value.
      Note: UserName and Password, if present, are overridden by the component-managed authentication alias you specified in a previous step.
    3. Click Save.
  6. Save your changes to the master configuration. Click Finish > Save.

What to do next

If your changes do not have the expected effect, restart the server so that it recovers the latest changes to the master configuration.
