Creating a JDBC Resource Instance

A JDBC resource instance must exist in the BPM runtime before you can deploy the GetUserLoginName application. This resource instance defines the connection information used by the BPM runtime to contact the database.

There are several different types of resource instances. A JDBC resource instance must be used to provide a connection to an external database.

Note: If you do not have access to the Administrator interface in the BPM runtime, you will need to get an administrator to perform this step for you.
  1. Create a JDBC Resource Template
    A resource template specifies configuration properties for resource instances.
  2. Create and Install a Resource Instance
    A resource instance represents a resource shared between applications. It is then available to applications running on that node—in this case, to the GetUserLoginName application.
