On the Data Source Administration page, you can connect to external data sources, such as databases, and make them available to My webMethods Server. Before you can create and use a database directory service, for example, you must configure the data source.

The Data Source Administration page supports connections to Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 Universal, Sybase Adaptive Server, or Informix databases. You can also configure ODBC and custom connections.

Note:
Before you configure a data source for connecting to DB2 Universal, Sybase Adaptive Server, or Informix databases, you must have a corresponding database driver for each respective database application. My webMethods Server distribution does not include database drivers for DB2 Universal, Sybase Adaptive Server, or Informix databases.
