    Datasource creation The installer can create the JDBC data source for one partition in your web application server (WebSphere® or WebLogic).

    If you select the Create Campaign Datasource check box, the installer creates the data source using information you provide.

    • Your application server must be running.
    • Enter any name for the datasource.

      The installer creates the JNDI name automatically (campaignPartition1DS).

    • Enter the directory in which the application server is installed.

      For WebSphere®, this is the directory that contains the profiles directory. You must restart WebSphere® after the installer finishes and before you use this data source.
