Configuring Native Connectivity

You can configure native connectivity to a Sybase ASE database to increase performance.

The following steps provide a guideline for configuring native connectivity. For specific instructions, see the database documentation.

Verify that the SYBASE environment variable refers to the Sybase ASE directory.

For example:

SYBASE=C:\SYBASE

Verify that the PATH environment variable includes the Sybase OCS directory.

For example:

PATH=C:\SYBASE\OCS-15_0\BIN;C:\SYBASE\OCS-15_0\DLL

Configure Sybase Open Client to connect to the database that you want to access.

Use SQLEDIT to configure the Sybase client, or copy an existing SQL.INI file (located in the %SYBASE%\INI directory) and make any necessary changes.

Select NLWNSCK as the Net-Library driver and include the Sybase ASE server name.

Enter the host name and port number for the Sybase ASE server. If you do not know the host name and port number, check with the system administrator.

Optionally, to connect to the SSL-enabled Sybase ASE database, perform the following tasks:

Specify the following security attributes on the

Security

tab when you configure the data source name in the Sybase driver property:

Attribute	Description
Encryption Method	Indicates whether data is encrypted when transmitted over the network. Select SSL.
Validate Server Certificate	Indicates whether Informatica validates the certificate that is sent by the database server when SSL encryption is enabled.
Trust Store	The location and name of the trust store file.
Trust Store Password	The password to access the contents of the trust store file.
Host Name In Certificate	The host name that is established by the SSL administrator to validate the host name contained in the certificate.

Add the Sybase ASE server certificate to the trusted.txt file in the Sybase ASE client.

Add the following Sybase ASE server connection details to the SQL.INI file:

<server_instance_name>
        master tcp ether <host name> <port number> ssl="CN='common_name"'
        query tcp ether <host name> <port number> ssl="CN='common_name"'

Verify that you can connect to the Sybase ASE database.

To connect to the database, launch ISQL and enter the connectivity information. If you fail to connect to the database, verify that you correctly entered all of the connectivity information.
