Connection String for Metadata Access Properties

Connection String for Metadata Access Properties

A connection string defines the database connection.
Use the following examples to define connection strings for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases:

Oracle

Example syntax for an Oracle database: 
jdbc:informatica:oracle://myhost:1521;SID=mysid;CatalogOptions=4;loginTimeout=30;
To use Oracle synonyms, set the value of
CatalogOptions
 to
7
 or remove the
CatalogOptions
 key from the connection string. For example: 
jdbc:informatica:oracle://myhost:1521;SID=mysid;CatalogOptions=7;loginTimeout=30;
If you do not want to use the default schema to which
Data Integration Hub
 connects, append the following string to the connection string: 
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=<schema name>
where
<schema name>
 is the name of the schema to which
Data Integration Hub
 connects.

Microsoft SQL Server

Example syntax for a Microsoft SQL Server: 
jdbc:informatica:sqlserver://myhost:1433;databaseName=MY_DB;loginTimeout=30;
If you use a named Microsoft SQL Server database instance, specify the instance name in the following format: 
<server name>\<instance name>
where
server name
 is the name of the database server and
instance name
 is the name of the database instance on which
Data Integration Hub
 is running.
If you run multiple instances on the same database server with unique port numbers, you can specify the instance port number instead of the instance name in the following format: 
<server name>:<port number>
where
server name
 is the name of the database server and
port number
 is the logical address of the instance on which
Data Integration Hub
 is running.
If you specify an instance name, verify that Microsoft SQL Server browser is running.

ODBC

Example syntax for an ODBC connection: 
jdbc:database://host:port;databaseName=<databasename>;
where
databasename
 is the name of the database that you want to connect.
