Step 3: Select the implementation type

Choose a supported implementation type.

Only the implementation types supported by the JDBC provider you selected in step 2 will appear in the list.

Note: If two choices appear on the implementation type list, select Connection Pool DataSource if your application runs in a single phase or local transaction. Otherwise, choose XA DataSource to run in a global transaction.
