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`.

      Remember to use a 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, deselect the Status checkbox.

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