Optional. The Integration Service uses Windows authentication to access the Microsoft SQL Server database. The user name that starts the Integration Service must be a valid Windows user with access to the Microsoft SQL Server database. True or false. Default is false.

Optional. Enables pass-through security for the connection. When you enable pass-through security for a connection, the domain uses the client user name and password to log into the corresponding database, instead of the credentials defined in the connection object.

JDBC connection URL to access metadata from the database.

Use the following connection URL:

jdbc:informatica:sqlserver://<host name>:<port>;DatabaseName=<database name>

To test the connection with NTLM authentication, include the following parameters in the connection string:

The following example shows the connection string for an SQL server that uses NTLMv2 authentication in an NT domain named Informatica.com:

jdbc:informatica:sqlserver://host01:1433;DatabaseName=SQL1;AuthenticationMethod=ntlm2java;Domain=Informatica.com

If you connect with NTLM authentication, you can enable the

Use trusted connection

option in the MS SQL Server connection properties. If you connect with NTLMv1 or NTLMv2 authentication, you must provide the user name and password in the connection properties.

To connect to a secure database, include the following parameters:

EncryptionMethod. Required. Indicates whether data is encrypted when transmitted over the network. This parameter must be set to SSL.
ValidateServerCertificate. Optional. Indicates whether Informatica validates the certificate that is sent by the database server.
If this parameter is set to True, Informatica validates the certificate that is sent by the database server. If you specify the HostNameInCertificate parameter, Informatica also validates the host name in the certificate.
If this parameter is set to false, Informatica does not validate the certificate that is sent by the database server. Informatica ignores any truststore information that you specify.
HostNameInCertificate. Optional. Host name of the machine that hosts the secure database. If you specify a host name, Informatica validates the host name included in the connection string against the host name in the SSL certificate.
TrustStore. Required. Path and file name of the truststore file that contains the SSL certificate for the database.
TrustStorePassword. Required. Password for the truststore file for the secure database.

Informatica appends the secure JDBC parameters to the connection string. If you include the secure JDBC parameters directly to the connection string, do not enter any parameters in the AdvancedJDBCSecurityOptions field.

Required. Connection string used to access data from the database.

Enter the connection string in the following format:

<server name>@<database name>

Optional. The name of the domain where Microsoft SQL Server is running.

Optional. Increase the network packet size to allow larger packets of data to cross the network at one time.

Required. Code to read from or write to the database. Use the ISO code page name, such as ISO-8859-6. The code page name is not case sensitive.

If you set the option value to true, the Data Integration Service retrieves the database name and server name from the DSN.

If you set the option value to false, you must enter the database name and server name.

Required. The connection provider that you want to use to connect to the Microsoft SQL Server database.

You can define one of the following values:

0. Set the value to 0 if you want to use the ODBC provider type. Default is 0.
1. Set the value to 1 if you want to use the OLEDB provider type.

Optional. The table owner name.

Optional. The name of the schema in the database. You must specify the schema name for the Profiling Warehouse if the schema name is different from the database user name. You must specify the schema name for the data object cache database if the schema name is different from the database user name and if you configure user-managed cache tables.

Optional. SQL commands to set the database environment when you connect to the database. The Data Integration Service executes the connection environment SQL each time it connects to the database.

For example,

ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=INFA_USR;

Optional. SQL commands to execute before each transaction. The Data Integration Service executes the transaction SQL at the beginning of each transaction.

For example,

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;

Optional. The character that you will use for quotes in this connection.

The type of character used to identify special characters and reserved SQL keywords, such as WHERE. The Data Integration Service places the selected character around special characters and reserved SQL keywords. The Data Integration Service also uses this character for the QuoteChar property. Default is 0.

Optional. Choose to enable quotes or not for this connection.

When enabled, the Data Integration Service places identifier characters around table, view, schema, synonym, and column names when generating and executing SQL against these objects in the connection. Use if the objects have mixed-case or lowercase names. Valid values are True or False. Default is True.

Optional. Enables connection pooling. When you enable connection pooling, the connection pool retains idle connection instances in memory. When you disable connection pooling, the Data Integration Service stops all pooling activity. Valid values are True or False. Default is True.

Optional. Maximum number of idle connections instances that the Data Integration Service maintains for a database connection. Set this value to be more than the minimum number of idle connection instances. Default is 15.

Optional. Number of seconds that a connection exceeding the minimum number of connection instances can remain idle before the connection pool drops it. The connection pool ignores the idletime when it does not exceed the minimum number of idle connection instances. Default is 120.

Optional. Minimum number of idle connection instances that the pool maintains for a database connection. Set this value to be equal to or less than the idle connection pool size. Default is 0.
