Configure Connections to Microsoft Azure SQL Database

Configure Connections to Microsoft Azure SQL Database

If you install
Data Integration Hub
repositories on a Microsoft Azure SQL database, configure connections to the database in the
Data Integration Hub
and
PowerCenter
applications. After you configure connections,
Data Integration Hub
creates corresponding connections in the
PowerCenter
repository.
Data Integration Hub
uses connection details to create workflows for publications and for subscriptions, and to create data sources and data targets in
PowerCenter
.
To configure the connections, you must log in to the following applications:
  • The
    Data Integration Hub
    operation console with the administrator user account.
  • The
    PowerCenter
    client operation console with the administrator user account.
In order to configure connections to the Microsoft Azure SQL database, edit the DIH_REPO connection in the
Data Integration Hub
console, enable DSN for the DIH_REPO connection in
PowerCenter
, and then test the connection in
Data Integration Hub
. Perform the same procedure for the DIH_STAGING connection.
  1. Perform the following steps in the
    Data Integration Hub
    operation console to edit the DIH___REPO connection:
    1. In the Navigator, click
      Hub Management
      Connections
      .
    2. Click the
      Edit
      icon next to the DIH___REPO connection.
      The
      Edit Connection
      page appears, showing the DIH___REPO connection details. DIH___REPO is the connection to the
      Data Integration Hub
      metadata repository that you defined during installation.
    3. Configure
      Data Access
      properties as follows:
      • Enter
        Database Name
        in the following format:
        dbname
      • Enter
        Server Name
        in the following format:
        hostname
      For more information, see the
      Data Integration Hub
      Administrator Guide
      .
    4. In the
      Edit Connection
      page, click
      Save
      .
      The
      Edit Connection
      page closes.
  2. Perform the following steps in
    PowerCenter
    to create a DSN name for the DIH__REPO connection:
    1. Select
      PwC Workflow Manager
      Connections
      Relational
      .
    2. Select
      Microsoft SQL Server Connections
      and click
      Edit
      .
    3. Enable DSN and enter the name of the data source for the DIH_Repo conection, that you created during the environment configuration.
      For more information about the data source name, see Create a Data Source Name for Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
    4. Click
      Save
      .
  3. Perform the following steps to test the DIH_REPO connection:
    1. Click the
      Test Connection
      icon next to the DIH___REPO connection in the
      Data Integration Hub
      console.
      Data Integration Hub
      tests the connection. The process might take a few moments.
    2. When the message "Connection successful" shows, click
      OK
      in the
      Test Connection
      dialog box.
      The first time that you test connections in
      Data Integration Hub
      , the test might fail with an error. Wait one minute and then test the connection.
      If the test fails after you wait a few seconds, delete the folder
      DIH__SYSTEM_WORKFLOWS
      in
      PowerCenter
      , and then test the connection.
  4. Repeat the above procedure for DIH_STAGING connection to configure connections to the DIH_STAGING repository.
