## To create a connector resource

A connector resource (data source) provides applications with a connection to an EIS.

##### Before You Begin

Before creating a connector resource, first create a connector connection pool.

1. In the tree component, expand the Resources node and then the Connectors node.

2. Expand the Connector Resources node.

3. On the Connector Resources page, click New.

4. On the Create Connector Resources page, specify the resource’s settings:

   1. In the JNDI Name field, type a unique name, for example: `eis/myERP`.

      Don’t forget the forward slash.

   2. From the Pool Name combo box, choose the connection pool to which the new connector resource belongs.

   3. To change the resource to be unavailable, select the Disable on All Targets radio button.

      By default, the resource is available (enabled) as soon as it is created.

5. Click OK.

##### Equivalent asadmin command

## To configure the connector service

Use the Connector Service screen to configure the connector container for all resource adapters deployed to this cluster or server instance.

1. Select Configurations from the tree.

2. Select the Connector Service node.

3. Specify the shutdown timeout in seconds in the Shutdown Timeout field.

   Enter an integer representing the number of seconds that the application server waits to allow the `ResourceAdapter.stop` method of the connector module’s instance to complete. Resource adapters that take longer than the specified shutdown timeout are ignored by the application server and the shutdown procedure continues. The default shutdown timeout is 30 seconds. Click Load Defaults to select the default shutdown timeout for the resource adapters deployed to this cluster or server instance.
