Name of the connection. The name is not case sensitive and must be unique within the domain. The name cannot exceed 128 characters, contain spaces, or contain the following special characters:

~ ` ! $ % ^ & * ( ) - + = { [ } ] | \ : ; " ' < , > . ? /

String that the Data Integration Service uses to identify the connection. The ID is not case sensitive. It must be 255 characters or less and must be unique in the domain. You cannot change this property after you create the connection. Default value is the connection name.

Connection string used to access metadata from the database.

Use the following connection string:

jdbc:informatica:oracle://<host_name>:<port>;SID=<database name>

jdbc:informatica:oracle:TNSNamesFile=<fully qualified path to the tnsnames.ora file>;TNSServerName=<TNS server name>;

To connect to a secure database, include the following parameters:

EncryptionMethod. Required. Indicates whether data is encrypted when transmitted over the network. This parameter must be set to SSL.
ValidateServerCertificate. Optional. Indicates whether Informatica validates the certificate that is sent by the database server.
If this parameter is set to True, Informatica validates the certificate that is sent by the database server. If you specify the HostNameInCertificate parameter, Informatica also validates the host name in the certificate.
If this parameter is set to false, Informatica does not validate the certificate that is sent by the database server. Informatica ignores any truststore information that you specify.
HostNameInCertificate. Optional. Host name of the machine that hosts the secure database. If you specify a host name, Informatica validates the host name included in the connection string against the host name in the SSL certificate.
cryptoProtocolVersion. Optional. If you enable TLS for the Oracle instance, set the cryptoProtocolVersion parameter as follows:
cryptoProtocolVersion=TLSv<version number>.
For example, cryptoProtocolVersion=TLSv1.2
The version number must be the same as the TLS version you configured for the server.
TrustStore. Required. Path and file name of the truststore file.
If you configure SSL or TLS and specify only the file name, you must copy the truststore file to the Informatica installation directory.
To test the connection and import metadata, copy the truststore file to the following directory:
<Informatica client installation directory>/clients/DeveloperClient
To run the mapping, copy the truststore file to the following directory:
<Informatica server installation directory>/tomcat/bin
TrustStorePassword. Required. Password for the truststore file for the secure database.
KeyStore. Required. Path and file name of the keystore file.
KeyStorePassword. Required. Password for the keystore file for the secure database.

The Data Integration Service runs the connection environment SQL each time it connects to the database.

The Data Integration Service runs the transaction environment SQL at the beginning of each transaction.

Type of character that the database uses to enclose delimited identifiers in SQL queries. The available characters depend on the database type.

Select (None) if the database uses regular identifiers.

When the Data Integration Service generates SQL queries, the service does not place delimited characters around any identifiers.

Select a character if the database uses delimited identifiers.

When the Data Integration Service generates SQL queries, the service encloses delimited identifiers within this character.

Enable if the database uses case-sensitive identifiers.

When enabled, the Data Integration Service encloses all identifiers within the character selected for the

SQL Identifier Character

property.

When the

SQL Identifier Character

property is set to none, the

Support Mixed-case Identifiers

property is disabled.
