Creating a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control Editing a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control

4-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware 2 Day Administration Guide ■ Fusion Middleware Control To create an MDS data source manually, you should use Fusion Middleware Control or WLST to set the correct attributes for the data source. The MDS data source is displayed in the navigation pane in Fusion Middleware Control and in the domain structure in the Administration Console. If your application uses an MDS Repository, you must register the repository with the Oracle WebLogic Server domain before you deploy your application. For information about the MDS Repository and registering the repository, see Managing the MDS Repository in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide. The following topics describe how to create and manage JDBC data sources with Fusion Middleware Control: ■ Creating a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control ■ Editing a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control ■ Monitoring a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control ■ Controlling a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control

4.3.1.1 Creating a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control

To create a JDBC data source using Fusion Middleware Control: 1. From the navigation pane, expand the farm, then WebLogic Domain. 2. Select the domain to display the Domain home page. 3. From the WebLogic Domain menu, choose JDBC Data Sources. The JDBC Data Sources page is displayed, as shown in the following figure: 4. Click Create to open the Creating New JDBC Data Source wizard. 5. Follow the instructions in the wizard to set the properties of the data source and to target the data source for one or more of the Managed Servers in the domain. For help on individual fields and properties, use your mouse to give focus to a field. Fusion Middleware Control displays a popup definition of the field. See Also: Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuring and Managing JDBC for Oracle WebLogic Server for information about creating and managing a data source using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console or WLST and about configuring multi data sources Deploying Applications 4-5 Note that the data source properties you define in Fusion Middleware Control are similar to those you define when creating data sources in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. As a result, you can also refer to Creating a JDBC Data Source in Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuring and Managing JDBC for Oracle WebLogic Server for more information about the data source properties.

4.3.1.2 Editing a JDBC Data Source Using Fusion Middleware Control

To edit an existing JDBC data source using Fusion Middleware Control: 1. From the navigation pane, expand the farm, then WebLogic Domain. 2. Select the domain to display the Domain home page. 3. From the WebLogic Domain menu, choose JDBC Data Sources. The JDBC Data Sources page is displayed. 4. Select the data source that you want to edit. 5. Click Edit to display the Edit JDBC Data Source page. 6. Use the tabs on this page to modify the properties of the selected data source. For help on individual fields and properties, use your mouse to give focus to a field. Fusion Middleware Control displays a popup definition of the field. Note that the data source properties you edit in Fusion Middleware Control are similar to those you edit when editing data sources in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. As a result, you can also refer to Creating a JDBC Data Source in Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuring and Managing JDBC for Oracle WebLogic Server for more information about the data source properties.
