Use this page to specify the details of an external resource manager that the server needs to communicate with on behalf of container-managed applications.
To access this page:
- From the Enterprise Server Administration Home page, at the left of the Enterprise Server instance to configure, click
Edit.
- On the server instance screen, select the
tabs.
- Select the XA resource to display.
- 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. It should match the name returned in the name field of the xa_switch_t structure. 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.
- 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.
- Enabled
- Check this to enable the XAR. It is checked by default.
