Creating data source providers and data sources

Before you create service integration buses, you must create a data source provider. If you choose to use a database for the queue data, you must also create a data source.

About this task

Each data source requires a unique schema. Because of possible interference with scheduled backups, do not use the Maximo® schema as a data source. When you add bus members, a unique message engine is created.

To ensure that the data source is available to all clusters that require access, create the data source provider at the cell level. To complete the configuration of the data source, you need information about your database configuration, such as path name and JDBC drive.

Procedure

  1. In the database, create and configure that database that you plan to use as the data source.
  2. In WebSphere® Application Server, configure the J2C Authentication data and the JDBC provider for the data source
  3. Test the connection to the data source.
