Use the resource adapter for connecting to resources like OpenTP1. This section explains the basic settings for connecting to the resource adapters other than DB Connector, DB Connector for Cosminexus RM, and Cosminexus RM.

Use the following procedure for setting a resource adapter:

1. Import the resource adapter.
2. Define the properties.
3. Deploy the resource adapter.
   Deploying the resource adapter refers to the process of deploying the resource adapter as a shared and standalone module (J2EE resource adapter) on the J2EE server.
   
4. Check the connectivity.
   You can verify if the connection is correct using a connectivity test.
   

For a deployed J2EE resource adapter, you need to resolve the resource adapter references by using the J2EE application property settings. For details, see 9.3.3 Defining resource adapter references.

Hint

You can use the following resource adapters to connect with other resources:

• Resource adapters compliant with Connector 1.0
• Resource adapters compliant with Connector 1.5

Note that the resource adapters provided with Application Server are compliant with Connector 1.0 specifications.

For details on defining the properties of resource adapters compliant with Connector 1.0 specifications, see 4.4.2 Defining the resource adapter properties (for Connector 1.0) and for defining the properties of resource adapters compliant with Connector 1.5 specifications, see 4.4.3 Defining the resource adapter properties (for Connector 1.5).
