(or)

1.First create one deployment profile (dmgr), one Custom profile (node).

2.Federate node to dmgr.

3.Open Admin Console in browser.

ex: http://:/ibm/console

4.I divided this task into 3 parts (Generally to configure data source we will follow like this only).

1)Creating an authentication alias.

2)Creating the JDBC provider.

3)Creating data source.

5)Let us do it now..........

Task 1) Creating an authentication alias:

Normally an authentication alias is required to access database. An authentication alias contains user ID and Password.

Now follow the step to complete this step.

1)Login to admin console, Expand Security------->Click on "Global Security".

2)In authentication page, Expand "Java Authentication and Authorization Service"-------->Click on "J2C authentication data".

3)Click on "New".

4)Provide the values for Alias, User ID and Password. Here User Id and Password must have to access the database.

ex:

Alias ----------- Sample_login

User ID ----------- sudhu (It is my database User ID)

Password ----------- xxxxxxxx(It is my database password)

Note: Here User ID and Password change according to your database.

5)Click on "Apply". Then Click on "review" and select the check box "Synchronize changes with Nodes" and click on "Save". Click on "OK".

6)Now u can check an authentication alias is created. It is like below image.

7)We completed first task......Now we will move to next task.....

Task 2)Creating the JDBC provider:

Follow the steps to complete this task.......

1)Expand "Resources" in the admin console.

2)Expand "JDBC". Click on "JDBC Provides".Then Select the Scope( I selected node scope).

3)Click on "New".

4)Provide the Database type, Provider Type, Implementation type and Name. Then click on "Next"

Ex:

Database type -------- DB2

Provider type -------- DB2 Universal JDBC Driver Provider

Implementation type -------- Connection pool data source

Name -------- DB2 Universal JDBC Driver Provider (It is default name. If u want to change u will modify it)

5)Provide the path for jar files.(Where it is saved in your box).Then click on "Next".

6)Verify summary. Click on "Finish". Then Click on "review" and select the check box "Synchronize changes with Nodes" and click on "Save". Click on "Ok".

7)Now u can check JDBC driver is created.

8) We completed Second task......Now we will move to last task.....

Task 3)Creating data source:

Follow the steps to complete this task......

1) 1)Expand "Resources" in the admin console.

2)Expand "JDBC". Click on "Data sources". Then select the Scope( I selected node scope).

3)Click on "New".

4)Provide Data source name and JNDI name. Then click on "Next".

ex:

Data source name -------- sample

JNDI name -------- jndi/sample

5)Select "select an existing JDBC provide" radio button. Then select DB2 JDBC provider in drop down list. Then click on "Next".

6)Specify the values of Driver type, Database name, Server name and Port number. Then click on "Next".

ex:

Driver type -------- 4

Database name -------- sample (it is based on your database name. I am using default database in DB2. So, change according to your environment database)

Server name -------- localhost(Specify the server name where DB2 is installed. I am installed DB2 in my local system. So, I used localhost)

Port number -------- 50000 (Based on DB2 port no.)

7)Select "Component-managed authentication alias", "Mapping-configuration alias " and "Container-managed authentication alias" from dropdown list. Then click on "Next".

ex:

Component-managed authentication alias ---- Sample_login

Container-managed authentication alias ---- Sample_login

Here Sample_login is name of an authentication alias.

8)Verify summary. Click on "Finish". Then Click on "review" and select the check box "Synchronize changes with Nodes" and click on "Save". Click on "Ok".
