In this post you will learn how to create a Datasource in the Weblogic server 11g console. To achieve this follow below steps –
1) Login to Weblogic server console using http://<hostname>:7001/console.
2) Go to the Domain structure as shown in the screen print –
3) You will view the below screen.
4) In order to enable the ‘New’ button click on the ‘Lock & Edit’ button under ‘Change Center’ on the top left corner.
5) Click on the ‘New’ button under ‘Data Sources (Filtered – More Columns Exist)‘
6) While creating the Data source you need to mention the JNDI value as jdbc/(your DB connection name) ex:jdbc/jamesxedb as shown below –
7) Now you need to add this Data source (jamesxedb) in the DBAdapter connection pool. Go to Deployments link.
8) click the DBAdapter link
9) Create a new connection pool tab and specify the same JNDI value (eis/DB/jamesxedb) which you used while creating the DBAdapeter in Jdeveloper.
10) Now select the newly created connection pool (eis/DB/jamesxedb) and in XADatasourceName field enter the (jdbc/jamesxedb) as shown
11) Now you need to update the deployment plan. Go to Deployments –> Select DBAdapter –> Click on Update button as shown –
Accept all the default values in the next screen flow and click Finish. By this the data source is successfully registered in the Db Adapter connection pool.
Note: Don’t forget to Update Deployment Plan for the DBAdapter under Deployments.
