Creating a Data Source Name on a Unix Operating System

Creating a Data Source Name on a Unix Operating System

This section describes how to create data source names on a Unix operating system, on which
Data Integration Hub
is installed.
Ensure that you configure a separate Data Source Name (DSN) entry for every database on which
Data Integration Hub
is installed. The driver should point to the
DWsqls27.so
driver by using an absolute path.
Perform the following steps in the
PowerCenter
installation directory:
  1. Navigate to the
    <pwc_install_path>/ODBC7.1
    folder in the
    PowerCenter
    installation directory and edit the
    odbc.ini
    driver to update the following information:
    • Driver
      . Enter a path to the driver.
      An example of the path is as follows:
      /data/Informatica/10.1.1/ODBC7.1/lib/DWsqls27.so
      .
    • Description
      . Enter the description of the DSN entry.
      An example of the description is as follows:
      Azure SQL DATABASE Connection for ODL
    • Address
      . Enter the host name of the machine where the database server is installed.
    • LogonID
      . Enter name for the Microsoft Azure SQL Database user.
    • Password
      . Enter a password for the Microsoft Azure SQL Database user.
    • QuotedId
      . Select
      No
      .
    • AnsiNPW
      . Select
      Yes
      .
    • EncryptionMethod
      . Enter a numerical value that corresponds to the encryption method that you want to select.
    • Enter
      WorkArounds2=2
      .
      Enabling the WorkArounds2=2 option causes the driver to ignore the column size or decimal digits specified by the application and use the database defaults instead. Some applications incorrectly specify the column size or decimal digits when binding timestamp parameters.
    • If the
      $ODBINI
      environment variable pointing to the
      odbc.ini
      file was not configured, then configure the
      $ODBINI
      environment variable as follows:
      $ODBCINI=<pwc_install_path>/ODBC7.1/odbc.ini
      .
      ODBC environment variables are configured before installing
      PowerCenter
      .
    An example of the configuration is as follows:
    Driver=<PwC_Install_Loc>/ODBC7.1/lib/DWsqls27.so Description=Azure SQL DATABASE Connection for ODL Address=<server_name> Database= <db_name> LogonID=<usn> Password=<pwd> QuotedId=No AnsiNPW=Yes EncryptionMethod=1 ValidateServerCertificate=0 WorkArounds2=2
  2. If you configure the environment variable while creating data source name on the operating system as described in this procedure, then restart
    PowerCenter
    services.
