Connections Workspace Overview

Connections Workspace Overview

Use the
Connections
 workspace to view, create, and manage connections. A connection is a repository object that defines a connection in the domain configuration repository.
Create a connection to import data objects, preview data, and run profiles or mappings. The Analyst tool uses the connection when you import a data object. The Data Integration Service uses the connection when you preview data, run a profile, or run a mapping.
The Analyst tool stores connections in the domain configuration repository. Any connection that you create in the Analyst tool is available in the Developer tool or the Administrator tool.
You can perform the following tasks in the
Connections
 workspace:
  • Search for a connection.
  • Create a connection.
  • Test a connection.
  • Edit a connection.
  • Delete a connection.
You can create the following types of connections in the Analyst tool:
  • IBM DB2
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • ODBC
  • Oracle
  • Hive
  • Hadoop File System
You can browse and import tables from IBM DB2/zOS connections. However, you must create IBM DB2/zOS connections in the Administrator tool or the Developer tool.
