The "Database Connection" dialog appears. Note: Although the name of the dialog would suggest that what you are creating at this point is a database connection, it is really a database connection pool. In later steps you will define database connections within the pool. 2. Select the appropriate value in the Database Driver drop-down menu-either DB2 (Type 2),or MQ SQL Server(Type 4)-depending on the database vendor. 3. If you chose MQ SQL Server(Type 4)in the Database Driver drop-down menu, then you must type the name of the computer on which the database server resides in the Host name field. 4. Type the name of the database in the Database field. 5. If you chose MQ SQL Server(Type 4)in the Database Driver drop-down menu, then you must type the port number through which clients communicate with the database server in the Port number field. 6. If you are connected to the InterChange Server Express instance that will use the pool, select that instance from the Connected Servers drop-down menu. 7. Type a name for the pool in the DBConnection Name field. You specify this database connection pool name when writing Java code to establish the connection in maps or collaboration templates. 8. Type the user name that should be used by InterChange Server Express to log in to the specified database in the Login field. 9. Type the password for the user name. 10. Type the maximum number of connections that should be established by the pool for all the individual database connection objects you plan to create within it in the Maximum connections field, or enable the Unlimited checkbox to allow as many connections to be established as are permitted by the database server configuration and licensing. Warning: Be careful when working in this field. It is not a single-line text field, even though it should be, so you can accidentally press Enter. You will not see the value you entered then, and will justifiably try to re-type the value. Then when you try to finish creating the database connection pool you receive an error that a valid value must be entered for the field. Do not press Enter in this field. Figure 34 on page 150 shows the "New Database Connection Pool" wizard. Chapter 8. Configuring database connection pools 149
