Step 1: Creating a data source and connection pool

You declare a data source to store the Decision Center data.

Before you begin

You must have a database before creating a data source (see Mandatory: Create the databases).

For a list of supported databases, consult the platform support details available on the IBM® support site External link opens a new window or tab.

Procedure

  1. Follow instructions Install a JDBC Driver as a Core Module External link opens a new window or tab.
  2. Create the data source.
    1. Log in to the JBoss Management Console.
      By default, http://localhost:9990/console.
    2. Click the Configuration tab.
    3. Under Subsystems, select Connector > Datasources
    4. Select the Non XA DATASOURCES tab.
    5. Click Add, and then enter a name (for example, DCdatasource) and a JNDI name (java:/jdbc/ilogDataSource) as the data source attributes.
    6. Click Next and select the JDBC driver to be used for the new data source.
      The JDBC driver you registered as a core module should appear here.
  3. Specify the connection settings.

    The transaction-isolation subelement inside the datasource element must be set to TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED to avoid database access problems and provide a better concurrency experience.

  4. Click Test Connection to confirm the connection, and click Done if successful.
  5. Select the new data source in the table and then click Enable and then Confirm.
