General Connection Properties

Define general connection properties to set up an archive source connection.

You can configure the following general connection properties:

Connection Name: Archive source name. Use the name to differentiate archive source connections, such as Data Vault Source and Production Source.

When you create an archive project and you assign a source, you select the connection name that you define here. You can use the connection name to display a list of all connection types or filter the list of connections.
Connection Description: Long text description for the connection name. When you manage connections, you can use this field to filter the list of connections.
Connection Type: Database connection type that determines how you connect to the archive source database. The connection type that you choose depends on the database that contains the source data. Choose a compatible connection type for the database and database version. The connection type determines the connection properties that you need to define.
Application Version: Business application and application versions that the database connection type supports. The possible values depend on the database connection type.

You can choose a business application such as Oracle or a custom application for a solution.

For example, you can choose Oracle 10g as the connection type and Oracle Applications 11.5.10 from the Oracle E-Business Suite Product family as the application version.
