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 a resource manager ID, used internally to identify a particular XA configuration. This must be unique within the enterprise server. Mandatory.
- Name
- Specify the name by which the resource manager 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 executable file (.dll on Windows),(.sl on HP-UX PA-RISC,
.so on other UNIX platforms) that contains the entry point that returns the xa_switch_t structure to the enterprise server. 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 the user ID and password for connecting to the database. The contents of this string are database-specific.
Where the resource manager 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 resource manager on the xa_close() call. To find out whether or not you need to supply
Close string, see your database vendor's documentation.
- Description
