vendor must be entered. Before proceeding, gather the following information:
■
Database vendor name

Resource type, such as javax.sql.DataSource (local transactions only)
javax.sql.XADataSource (global transactions)
■
Data source class name
■
Required properties, such as the database name (URL), user name, and password
