Configuring the Adapter for JBoss Application Server

In this section:

Configuring the adapter consists of specifying connection and authentication information for each of the connections you want to establish.

Declaring Connection Attributes

How to:

Reference:

In order to connect to a JBoss data source, the adapter requires connection and authentication information.

You supply this information using the SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES command. You can enter connection and authentication information in the Web Console or the Data Management Console configuration pane. The consoles add the command to the server profile you select: global (edasprof.prf), user (user.prf), or group (group.prf) if supported on your platform.

You can declare connections to more than one JBoss data source using the SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES commands. The actual connection takes place when the first query is issued. If you issue multiple SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES commands:

Procedure: How to Declare Connection Attributes

You can configure the adapter from either the Web Console or the Data Management Console.

  1. From the Web Console menu bar, click Adapters.

    or

    From the Data Management Console, expand the Adapters folder.

    The Adapters folder opens.

  2. Expand the Available folder, if it is not already expanded.
  3. Expand the appropriate group folder and the specific adapter folder. The group folder is described in the connection attributes reference.
  4. Right-click the adapter name and/or version and select Configure.

    The Add Adapter to Configuration pane opens.

  5. Enter values for the parameters required by the adapter, as described in the connection attributes reference.
  6. Click Configure. The configured adapter is added to the Adapters list in the navigation pane.

Reference: Connection Attributes for JBoss Application Server

The JBoss Application Server adapter in under the SQL group folder.

The following list describes the connection attributes for which you can supply values. To complete the attribute declaration, click the Configure button.

Connection name

Logical name used to identify this particular set of connection attributes. The default is CON01.

URL

Location URL for the JBoss data source.

User

Primary authorization ID by which you are known to the data source.

Password

Password associated with the primary authorization ID.

Driver name

Name for the JBoss Teiid JDBC driver.

For example: org.teiid.jdbc.TeiidDrive

See JBoss Application Server documentation for the specific driver release you are using.

Select profile

Select a profile from the drop-down menu to indicate the level of profile in which to store the CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES command. The global profile, edasprof.prf, is the default.

If you wish to create a new profile, either a user profile (user.prf) or a group profile if available on your platform (using the appropriate naming convention), choose New Profile from the drop-down menu and enter a name in the Profile Name field (the extension is added automatically).

Store the connection attributes in the server profile (edasprof).

Syntax: How to Declare Connection Attributes Manually
ENGINE SQLMMX SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES connection 'URL'/userid,password

where:

SQLMMX

Indicates the adapter. You can omit this value if you previously issued the SET SQLENGINE command.

connection

Is the connection name.

URL

Is the URL to the location of the JBoss data source.

userid

Is the primary authorization ID by which you are known to the target database.

password

Is the password associated with the primary authorization ID.



Example: Declaring Connection Attributes

The following SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES command connects to a data source using the JBoss Driver, with an explicit user ID (MYUSER) and password (PASS). To ensure security, specifying connection attributes from the Web Console or DMC will encrypt the password before adding it to the server profile.

Note: Consult vendor documentation for the exact name, port, and path.

ENGINE SQLMMX SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES CON1
  'jdbc:jboss:Tmix_Vdb@mm://hostname:31000'

Overriding the Default Connection

How to:

If multiple connections have been defined, the connection named in the first SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES command serves as the default connection.



x
Syntax: How to Change the Default Connection
ENGINE SQLMMX SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION connection

where:

SQLMMX

Indicates the adapter. You can omit this value if you previously issued the SET SQLENGINE command.

connection

Is the connection defined in a previously issued SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES command. If this name was not previously declared, the following message is issued:

FOC1671, Command out of sequence

Note:



Example: Selecting the Default Connection

The following SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION command selects the database server named SAMPLENAME as the default database server:

ENGINE SQLMMX SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION SAMPLENAME

Controlling the Connection Scope

How to:

The SET AUTODISCONNECT command controls the persistence of connections when using the adapter for each of the connections you want to establish.



x
Syntax: How to Control the Connection Scope
x
ENGINE SQLMMX SET AUTODISCONNECT ON {FIN|COMMIT}

where:

SQLMMX

Indicates the adapter. You can omit this value if you previously issued the SET SQLENGINE command.

FIN

Disconnects automatically only after the session has been terminated. FIN is the default value.

COMMIT

Disconnects automatically only after COMMIT or ROLLBACK is issued as a native SQL command.
