Client Connections

Client Connections

Clients must connect to the Data Vault to query archived tables registered with the Data Vault repository. Clients can connect to Data Vault using an ODBC-enabled front-end tool. To make a connection possible, a new [CONNECTION
connection-name
] section must be added to the client-side
nucleus.ini
 file (where
connection-name
 can be any desired name for the connection). The Host and Port values in this section must match those used by the Data Vault Service load balancer, as specified in the
ssa.ini
 file. The
connection-name
 is subsequently used by the client to connect to the load balancer.
The following table gives an example of the client connections:
ssa.ini (excerpt)
client-side nucleus.ini (excerpt) 
[SERVER]
Host=ALPHA1
Port=9975
...
[CONNECTION dvs]
Host=ALPHA1
Port=9975
...
In the above example,
dvs
 is the connection name. To connect to a Data Vault repository database called
adm
, the user authorization JOE uses the following command line invocation: 
ssasql dvs adm JOE
ODBC client connections also require a new Data Source Name (DSN) that references the information described above.
