     To enter the connection information using a custom JDBC connection string, select Custom JDBC connection string and type the connection string.
     Use the following syntax in the JDBC connection string:

     IBM DB2

     jdbc:Informatica:db2://host_name:port_no;DatabaseName=

     Oracle

     jdbc:Informatica:oracle://host_name:port_no;ServiceName=

     Microsoft SQL Server

     jdbc:Informatica:sqlserver://host_name:port_no;SelectMethod=cursor;DatabaseName=

     Sybase

     jdbc:Informatica:sybase://host_name:port_no;DatabaseName=

     Verify that the connection string contains all the connection parameters required by your database system.
10. Click Test Connection to verify that you can connect to the database, and then click OK to continue.
11. Click Next to start the system check.
    The tool checks the settings of the hard drive, the availability of the ports, and the configuration of the database. After the system check is complete, the System Check Summary page appears, displaying the results of the system check.
