PowerCenter Connection Properties

If you create a PowerCenter resource, you must provide connection information for PowerCenter.

The following table describes the connection properties:

Property	Description
Login user	Database user name for the PowerCenter repository database.
Login password	Database user password for the PowerCenter repository database.
Database type	Type of database for the PowerCenter repository. Database type can be IBM DB2 for LUW, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or Sybase ASE.
Schema name	Schema name for the PowerCenter repository database when the database type is IBM DB2 for LUW and the schema name differs from the login user name. If you do not enter a value for this property, Metadata Manager assumes that the schema name is the same as the login user name. Metadata Manager does not display this property for database types other than IBM DB2 for LUW.
Source JDBC URL	JDBC URL for the PowerCenter repository database. Enter the database host name and the database service name. Metadata Manager uses this URL to verify connection information to the source database. For example, if the PowerCenter repository database is an Oracle database, use the following syntax: jdbc:informatica:oracle://[host name]:[port];SID=[sid] You can enter the SID or edit the string to use the full service name. For example: jdbc:informatica:oracle://[host name]:[port];ServiceName=[service name] If the Oracle database is clustered, use the following syntax: jdbc:informatica:oracle://[host1]:[port];ServiceName=[service name];AlternateServers = ([host2]:[port]);LoadBalancing=true If the Oracle database uses the Advanced Security Option, use the following syntax: jdbc:informatica:oracle://[host name]:[port];SID=[SID];EncryptionLevel=[encryption level];EncryptionTypes=[encryption types];DataIntegrityLevel=[data integrity level];DataIntegrityTypes=[data integrity types]
Secure JDBC parameters	Secure JDBC parameters that you want to append to the JDBC connection URL. Use this property to specify secure connection parameters such as passwords. Metadata Manager does not display secure parameters or parameter values in the resource configuration properties. Enter the parameters as name=value pairs separated by the delimiter character that the database driver requires. For example: param1=value1;param2=value2 If secure communication is enabled for the database, enter the secure JDBC parameters in this property.
Connect string	Native connect string for the PowerCenter repository database. The Metadata Manager Service uses the connect string to create a connection object to the Metadata Manager repository database in the PowerCenter repository. The connect string syntax varies based on the database type: IBM DB2 for LUW. <database name> Microsoft SQL Server. <server name>@<database name> Oracle. <database name>.world (same as the TNSNAMES entry) Sybase ASE. <server name>@<database name>
Encoding	Code page for the PowerCenter repository database. The code page for the PowerCenter resource, the Metadata Manager repository, and the machine where the associated Integration Service for Metadata Manager runs must be the same.
Auto assign connections	Metadata Manager configures connection assignments to relational database resource types during the resource load. If you disable this option, you must configure connection assignments in the resource properties after you create the resource.
Use trusted connection	Authenticates the user credentials using Windows authentication and establishes a trusted connection to a Microsoft SQL Server PowerCenter repository database. When you use a trusted connection to connect to Microsoft SQL Server database, the Metadata Manager Service connects to the repository with the credentials of the user logged in to the machine on which the service is running.
