ID

Specify a resource manager ID, used internally to identify a particular XA configuration. This must be unique within the enterprise server. Mandatory.

Specify the location of the executable file (.dll on Windows),(.sl on HP-UX PA-RISC, .so on other UNIX platforms) that contains the entry point that returns the xa_switch_t structure to the enterprise server. Mandatory.

Open string

Specify the string that is passed to the resource manager on the xa_open() call. It usually contains at least the database name, and the user ID and password for connecting to the database. The contents of this string are database-specific.

For DB2, the contents are documented in IBM's DB2 Administration Guide; for additonal information see the Application Programmer's Guide.

For Oracle, see the Oracle Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals.

Where the resource manager supports dynamic registration, and the database vendor requires the name of the module that provides the ax_reg function, you should specify casaxlib.
