Adding Resources by Type
To add resources by type, perform the following steps:

2. Drag a resource type node into the session. The outline indicates that the node has not yet been allocated
to your session.
3. Enable interfaces.
4. Set the properties as required:
• Use the Resource tab to set exclusivity.
• Use the Inventory tab to set characteristics of the desired resource.
• Use the Configuration Files and Image Files tabs if you need provisioning.
5. Save the session (File > Save or click Ctrl+S).
The scheduler determines the best resource to be allocated and adds into the session. The resource
operations, such as Resource Adapter setup methods, will be executed once the resource has been
allocated.

also provided. Same information is also visible in the
