When you create a connection object for a PowerCenter session, you can define a connection to a database secured with the SSL protocol.
You can connect to relational PowerCenter sources and targets through native connectivity or ODBC drivers.
If you connect to a secure relational source or target through native connectivity, verify that the database client contains the connection information for the secure database. For example, if you connect to a PowerCenter target on a secure Oracle database, configure the Oracle database client file
tnsnames.ora
with the connection information for the secure database.
If you connect to a secure relational source or target through ODBC drivers, verify that the database client contains the connection information for the secure database and the ODBC data source correctly defines the connection to the secure database.
