Creating Data Source Connections

Use Sybase Control Center to configure the properties required to connect to datasources.

A connection is required to send queries to mobile business objects and receive data. The format in which data is communicated depends on the type of datasource. Establish connections by supplying an underlying driver and a connection string that allow you to address the datasource, and provide you a mechanism by which to set the appropriate user authentication credentials and connection properties. See Sybase Control Center online help > Configure > Configuring Unwired Platform > Connections.

Note: When creating connections, please ensure that the prerequisites for each connection type are installed on all nodes of the cluster. See System Administration guide > Environment Setup > EIS Connections.
  1. Select the domain-level Connections node for the domain to configure.
  2. Create a new connection or connection template by selecting the appropriate tab and clicking New.
  3. Enter a unique connection pool name, and select both a connection pool type and the appropriate template to use for that type. Customize the template, if required, by editing existing values or adding new properties.
  4. Test the values you have configured by clicking Test Connection. If the test fails, either the values you have configured are incorrect, or the datasource target is unavailable. Evaluate both possibilities and try again.
  5. Click OK to register the connection pool.
    The name appears in the available connection pools table on the Connections tab; administrators can now use the connection pool to deploy packages.
