Cloning a Resource Adapter Configuration 

Use

A resource adapter deployed on the J2EE Engine can be used by a number of applications also deployed on the server. However, some of them might need to use a different ManagedConnectionFactory (MCF) configuration.

When deploying the resource adapter, you can only register a single MCF instance. To configure another MCF derived from the same adapter, you can use the cloning function, which is available in the Runtime tab of the Connector Container Service in Visual Administrator. With this function, you create a MCF instance, which you bind in the JNDI registry by a different name and can configure with the appropriate settings for your application. Thus, you do not need to re-deploy the whole resource adapter to create another MCF configuration.

Activities

To clone a resource adapter configuration:

I...

       1.      In Connectors  → Connector 1.0 tree select a resource adapter.

       2.      To clone it, choose  Clone.

       3.      Enter a name for the cloned adapter. This is the JNDI name of the newly created MCF instance.

The cloned resource adapter appears in the Connectors  → Connector 1.0 tree. You can change its settings as described in Modifying ManagedConnectionFactory Properties and Modifying Loader References.
