| Description
|
---|---|---|
Connection | Predefined | Any resource installed with PowerCenter, such as a plug-in or a connection object. A connection object may be a relational, application, FTP, external loader, or queue connection. When you create a node, all connection resources are available by default. Disable the connection resources that are not available to the node. Any Session task that reads from or writes to a relational database requires one or more connection resources. The Workflow Manager assigns connection resources to the session by default. |
Node Name | Predefined | A resource for the name of the node. A Session, Command, or predefined Event-Wait task requires a node name resource if it must run on a specific node. |
Operating System Type | Predefined | A resource for the type of operating system on the node. A Session or Command task requires an operating system type resource if it must run a specific operating system. |
Custom | User-defined | Any resource for all other resources available to the node, such as a specific database client version. For example, a Session task requires a custom resource if it accesses a Custom transformation shared library or if it requires a specific database client version. |
File/Directory | User-defined | Any resource for files or directories, such as a parameter file or a file server directory. For example, a Session task requires a file resource if it accesses a session parameter file. |
