ESCWA Administration page, and then select the
enterprise server region that references the transactional data file from the left pane.
- In the right pane, click
.
- Click
NEW.
- Specify the details of the XAR:
- ID
- Specify an XA resource manager (XAR) ID, used internally to identify a particular XA configuration, and must be unique within
the
enterprise server region. This ID is used by
JES-initiated jobs and by
the XAID compiler directive option. See
XAID,
Executing TSO Commands in Batch Mode (IDAEFT01),
and
Planning and Designing XARs for more information. Mandatory.
- Name
- Specify the name by which the XAR is known. Mandatory.
- Module
- Specify the location of the RM switch module executable file (.dll) that contains the entry point that returns the xa_switch_t structure to the enterprise server. We strongly recommend that
you include the full path to the executable file. Mandatory.
- Enabled
- Check this to enable the XAR. It is checked by default.
- Reconnection attempts
- Type or select the number of reconnection attempts to make following an initial connection error.
- Open string
- Specify the string that is passed to the resource manager on the xa_open() call. It usually contains at least the database name, and often the user ID and password credentials for connecting to the
database. The contents of this string are database-specific.
Where the RM switch module supports dynamic registration, and the database vendor requires the name of the module that provides
the
ax_reg function, you should specify
casaxlib.
- Close string
- The string that is passed to the XAR on the xa_close() call. To find out whether or not you need to supply
Close string, see your database vendor's documentation.
- Description
- Specify an optional text description of the XAR definition.
Important: For more information on the syntax for
Open string, see the
xa_open string topic for your database type, listed below.
- Click
Add.
Note: You cannot add an XAR until all the mandatory fields have values. If you add an XAR while the region is running, you can connect
to it as soon as the XAR is enabled.
