After you have installed the IMS™ TM resource adapter on your server, create
a connection factory for the IMS TM resource adapter, if it does not already exist.
The connection factory is used by one or more applications to create connections
between IMS and IMS Connect.
To create a connection factory for the IMS TM resource adapter, complete
the following steps:
- 1. On the welcome page of WebSphere® Application Server, expand Resources
> Resource Adapters. Click Resource adapters.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the name of the RAR
file for which you want to create a connection factory. For example, select IMSRAR9102.
The General Properties page will appear.
- In the General Properties page, in the right-hand column under
Additional Properties, select J2C Connection Factories.
- Click the New button and in the Name field
type a name for the connection factory. For example, myIMSA.
- In the JNDI name field, accept the default.
- Click Apply.
- At the top of the panel, click Save.
- Click the name of the connection factory that you just created, myIMSA. The configuration page opens.
- On the configuration page, in the right-hand column under Additional
Properties, click Custom properties.
- Click on each of the fields below to fill in the values to configure
your connection factory. For example:
- In the HostName row, click on the existing value.
In the configuration page that comes up, type MYHOST.MYCOMPANYNAME.COM in
the Value field and then click OK.
- In the PortNumber row, click on the existing value.
In the configuration page that comes up, type 9999 in
the Value field and then click OK.
- In the DataStoreName row, click on the existing
value. In the configuration page that comes up, type MYDSTOR in
the Value field and then click OK.
- Click Save at the top.
- Stop the server and then restart it to see the new connection factory.
You now have created a connection factory for your RAR file.
