How to setup and use DB2Mon

I used to use TOAD to monitor the connection to Oracle, but when I moving to DB2 world, I am struggling to find out a similar tool to look at what kind connections/activities happen on the Database. One of my collegue suggested DB2Mon, I set off and decide to give it a try, here I record what I need to do:
1. Start IBM DB2 Configuration Assistant, right click, Add Database Using Wizard, Manually configure a connection to a database; setup your database connection; Test your connection by right click the newly created connection->TestConnection->CLI
2. Start your DB2Mon, you should see your newly created Database connection, select it and input your user/password.

How to get a JDBC connection in EJB 3 running on WebSphere

There are several ways to get a JDBC connection in EJB3 running on WebSphere:
1. JNDI lookup
2. @Resource Injection
2.1 In ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml
<session name="OrderRepositoryBean">
<resource-ref name="DFSAdabasDataSource" binding-name="jdbc/DFS_ADABAS" />
</session>
2.2 In OrderRespositoryBean
@Resource(name = "DFSAdabasDataSource")
private DataSource ds;
3. NOT WORK!!! @Resource Injection by using mappedName, assuming the JNDI name is : jdbc/DFS_ADABAS
// In OrderRepositoryBean
@Resource(mappedName = "jdbc/DFS_ADABAS")
private DataSource ds;
4. Using OpenJPAEntityManager
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "CACSAMP")
private EntityManager emDFS;
......
(Connection) ((OpenJPAEntityManager) emDFS.getDelegate()).getConnection();

Configure IBM InfoSphere Classic JDBC Driver datasource in WebSphere

To setup the InfoSphere Classic JDBC Data source in WebSphere, you could follow the following steps:
1. Create new JDBC Provider
1.1 Resources->JDBC->JDBC providers->new
1.2 Database type: User-defined; Implementation class name: com.cac.jdbc.ConnectionPoolDataSource; Name: IBM InfoSphere Classic JDBC
1.3 Class path: ${User-defined_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/DataFederationServer/cacjdbc21.jar
1.4 Review summary->Finish->save
2. Create Java 2 Connector authentication data entry
2.1 Security->Global security; Under Authentication cache settings, click Java Authentication And Authorization Service->J2C authnetication data; new
2.2 Alias: ; UserID: ; Password: ; Apply-> save
3. Create new Data Source
3.1 Resources->JDBC->Data sources; new
3.2 Data source name: DFS_XXXX; JNDI name: jdbc/DFS_ADABAS
3.3 Select the JDBC provider created in step 1.
3.4 Data store helper class name: com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.GenericDataStoreHelper; Uncheck used for CMP check box.
3.5 Component-managed authentication alias: the one you created in step 2.
3.6 Review summary->Finish->save
3.7 setup the Custom properties for the newly create Data source by click on the Data source name -> Customer properties
3.7.1 URL: your Data Federation Server JDBC URL;
3.7.2 webSphereDefaultIsolationLevel: 1 (READ_UNCOMMITED); very tricky, I can only make it work by setting to 1. It turns out the backend (ADABAS) is set to support READ_UNCOMMITED.
3.8 If you run into "JDBC hung when try to close connection" in your application, try to turn off the statement cache; Search IBM fix pack change list for similar problem for Oracle, and Sybase JDBC connection.
You almost done, just restart your web sphere server and start to use the JDBC Data source.

How to currentSchema for DB2 DataSource in WebSphere

Without setting the currentSchema for DB2, you need to fully qualified the DB object (table, view etc) name.
According IBM documentation, currentSchema means "This allows the end user or application to name SQL objects without having to qualify them by schema name."

How to setup the crrentSchema for DB2 DataSource in Websphere?
Resources->JDBC->Click your Data Source name->Customer properties->currentSchema.
Restart your Websphere to make it take effective.
BTW: The DataSource currentSchema setting could be co-exist with the openjpa.jdbc.Schema setting in persistent.xml without intereference with each other.
