IBM Websphere: Configuring Datasources
IBM Websphere is the application server that hosts IBM Maximo and other enterprise applications. IBM Maximo requires that Websphere be configured for database connectivity before it can export data to an external database.The first step to configure Websphere for external database connectivity is to configure JDBC Providers. You must provide the prover jdbc driver type for the datbase (example: SQL SERVER) and verify that the path to the sqljdbc.jar file is correct.
The next step is to configure the datasource. While configuring the datasource, you must configure a JAAS-J2C Authentication to the external database. To configure the datasource, give it a name, JDNI name, Security settings for authentication, and the datasource properties. Datasource properties include: database name, port number, and server name (or IP address).
