6.3. Non-XA Datasources

6.3.1. Create a Non-XA Datasource with the Management Interfaces

Summary

This topic covers the steps required to create a non-XA datasource, using either the Management Console or the Management CLI.

Prerequisites

  • The JBoss EAP 6 server must be running.

Note

Prior to version 10.2 of the Oracle datasource, the <no-tx-separate-pools/> parameter was required, as mixing non-transactional and transactional connections would result in an error. This parameter may no longer be required for certain applications.

Procedure 6.4. Create a Datasource using either the Management CLI or the Management Console

    • Management CLI

      1. Launch the CLI tool and connect to your server.
      2. Run the following command to create a non-XA datasource, configuring the variables as appropriate:
        data-source add --name=DATASOURCE_NAME --jndi-name=JNDI_NAME --driver-name=DRIVER_NAME  --connection-url=CONNECTION_URL
      3. Enable the datasource:
        data-source enable --name=DATASOURCE_NAME
    • Management Console

      1. Login to the Management Console.
      2. Navigate to the Datasources panel in the Management Console

        1. Select the Configuration tab from the top of the console.
        2. For Domain mode only, select a profile from the drop-down box in the top left.
        3. Expand the Subsystems menu on the left of the console, then expand the Connector menu.
        4. Select Datasources from the menu on the left of the console.
      3. Create a new datasource

        1. Click Add at the top of the Datasources panel.
        2. Enter the new datasource attributes in the Create Datasource wizard and proceed with the Next button.
        3. Enter the JDBC driver details in the Create Datasource wizard and click Next to continue.
        4. Enter the connection settings in the Create Datasource wizard.
        5. Click the Test Connection button to test the connection to the datasource and verify the settings are correct.
        6. Click Done to finish
Result

The non-XA datasource has been added to the server. It is now visible in either the standalone.xml or domain.xml file, as well as the management interfaces.
