Connection Attribute
| Required
| DB2zOS, DB2i5OS, DB2LUW Types
| Description
|
---|---|---|---|
Name
| Yes
| All
| The name of the relational connection.
|
Code Page
| Yes
| All
| The code page that the PowerCenter Integration Service uses to extract data from the source database.
In Unicode mode, PWXPC sets the code page with this value overriding any code page specification in the PowerExchange dbmover configuration file.
|
Location
| Yes
| All
| The location of the source or target database as specified as specified in a NODE statement in the PowerExchange dbmover configuration file.
|
Database Name
| Yes
| All
| The DB2 subsystem or database name.
|
User Name
| Yes
| All
| A user name that can be used to access the database.
For databases on supported Linux, UNIX, or Windows systems, if you have enabled PowerExchange LDAP user authentication and disabled relational pass-through authentication, the user name is the enterprise user name. For more information, see the
PowerExchange Reference Manual .
|
Password
| Yes
| All
| A password for the specified user. Passwords that are less than nine characters in length are not validated.
To avoid errors that might arise due to code page differences, Informatica recommends that the password includes only those characters that are allowed for passphrases.
For DB2i5OS and DB2zOS relational connections, you can enter a valid PowerExchange passphrase instead of a password. An i5/OS passphrase can be from 9 to 31 characters in length when you use a PWXPC connection. A z/OS passphrase can be from 9 to 128 characters in length. A passphrase can contain the following characters:
Passphrases cannot include single quotation marks (‘), double quotation marks (“), or currency symbols.
On z/OS, the allowable characters in the IBM IRRPHREX exit do not affect the allowable characters in PowerExchange passphrases.
On z/OS, a valid RACF passphrase can be up to 100 characters in length. PowerExchange truncates passphrases longer than 100 characters when passing them to RACF for validation.
To use passphrases, ensure that the PowerExchange Listener runs with a security setting of SECURITY=(1,N) or higher in the DBMOVER member. For more information, see "SECURITY Statement" in the
PowerExchange Reference Manual .
|
Isolation Level
| Yes
| DB2i5OS

|
Database file overrides

| DB2i5OS
| Override for the i5/OS database file. The format is:
Where:
You can enter up to eight unique file overrides on a single connection. A single override applies to a single source or target. When you specify multiple file overrides, include a space between each file override and enclose the entire string of file overrides in double quotation marks.
If both
Library List and
Database file overrides are specified and a table exists in both,
Database file overrides takes precedence.
|
Library List
| No
| DB2i5OS
| A list of the libraries that PowerExchange searches to qualify a table name for Select, Insert, Delete, or Update statements or to qualify a stored procedure name when the procedure is called for execution. PowerExchange searches the list if a table name or stored procedure name is not qualified with a schema name.
If you specify multiple libraries, separate the library names with spaces and enclose the list in double quotation marks, for example, "TGTLIB1 TGTLIB2 TGTLIB3".
If both
Library List and
Database file overrides are specified and a table exists in both,
Database file overrides takes precedence.

|
Bulk Load
| No
| DB2zOS

|
Filename
| No
| DB2zOS
| The data set prefix that PowerExchange uses to create the temporary files that the DB2 LOAD utility uses to load data to a DB2 table.

Valid values:
Default is NO.

Valid values are 1 through 64.
Default is 0, which disables multithreading.
|

| No
| DB2zOS, DB2i5OS
| The DB2 fetch array size, in number of rows, for DB2 bulk data movement operations that use the DB2 access method. The array size pertains to the DB2 multiple-row FETCH statements that PowerExchange uses to read data from DB2 source tables.
Valid values are from 1 through 5000. Default is 25.
For DB2 for i5/OS bulk data movement operations, Informatica recommends that you enter an array size no greater than 100.
PowerExchange dynamically lowers the array size when all the following conditions are true:
