Create a JDBC Resource Template

A resource template specifies configuration properties for resource instances.

Procedure

  1. Log into the Administrator interface in the BPM runtime.

    Click New (). The Add Resource Template dialog is displayed.

  3. On the General tab, in the Name field, enter BPMDatabaseConnection.
  4. In the Type field, select JDBC.
  5. Set the Scope of the template by moving the slider to the far right, above Application. Select your BPM environment (for example, BPMEnvironment) from the Environment dropdown, and then select the name of your BPM application instance (for example, amx.bpm.app) in the Application dropdown.
  6. In the Connection Type field, select Direct. (You must use a Direct connection, not an XA connection.)
  7. In the Database Driver, Database URL and Login Credentials sections, enter the information needed to connect to the BPM database. Contact your database administrator if you do not already know this information.
