Can't connect to Database from Database Adapter in BPM 11g

Question

I added a database adapter in BPM 11g to the composite.xml. This database adapter is just to load data into a XML document (UI payload). I can’t seem to get a connection to the database. I am getting a error, see below.

The docs says I need to add an Outbound Connection Pool to to SOA DbAdaptor in WebLogic. The problem is I can’t seem to make my changes take effect. This is the same error recorded here:
BPEL DB adapter
The problem is when trying to change the property, xADataSourceName, the changes don’t take effect. I also notice that in our test environment I get a dialog box to change the deployment plan. On my local WLS, I don’t get this dialog box. Either way the changes to xADataSourceName will not take effect.
There must be a simple solution, I just don’t see it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mark

Answer 1

When you enter the xADataSourceName property, did you hit enter on the field? If you simply tab off the field and hit save changes without hitting the enter key then it doesn't record the change to the property.
