Oracle connection properties

Oracle connection properties

When you create an Oracle connection, configure the connection properties.
The following table describes the Oracle connection properties:
Property
Description
Connection Name
Name of the connection.
Each connection name must be unique within the organization. Connection names can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _ . + -,
Maximum length is 255 characters.
Description
Description of the connection. Maximum length is 4000 characters.
Type
Type of connection.
Select Oracle from the list.
Runtime Environment
The name of the runtime environment where you want to run the tasks.
Select a Secure Agent, Hosted Agent, or serverless runtime environment.
Oracle Subtype
The Oracle connection subtype that you can use to connect to Oracle on-premises or Oracle Autonomous Database.
Select one of the following options:
  • Oracle ADB. Connects to Oracle Autonomous Database.
  • Oracle On-premise. Connects to Oracle on-premises.
Authentication Mode
The authentication method to connect to Oracle.
Select one of the following authentication modes:
  • Oracle Database Authentication. Uses your Oracle user name and password to connect to Oracle.
  • Kerberos.
    Uses Kerberos authentication to connect to Oracle.
    When you choose this option on Windows, ensure that the user account that starts the Secure Agent service is available in the Oracle database. You don't need to enter your credentials to access Oracle.
    You can't configure Kerberos authentication when you use a Hosted Agent or serverless runtime environment.
User Name
User name for the database login. The user name can't contain a semicolon.
Password
Password for the database login. The password can't contain a semicolon.
Host
Name of the machine that hosts the database server.
Port
Network port number used to connect to the database server.
Default is 1521.
Service Name
Service name or System ID (SID) that uniquely identifies the Oracle database.
Specify the SID in the following format to connect to Oracle databases:
SID:<ORACLE_SID>
Schema
Schema used for the Oracle connection.
Code Page
The code page of the database server.
Encryption Method
The method that the Secure Agent uses to encrypt the data exchanged between the Secure Agent and the database server.
Default is No Encryption.
This property doesn't apply if you use the Hosted Agent.
Crypto Protocol Version
Cryptographic protocols to use when you enable SSL encryption.
Not applicable when you use the Hosted Agent or the serverless runtime environment.
Validate Server Certificate
Validates the certificate that is sent by the database server. If you specify the
HostNameInCertificate
parameter, the Secure Agent also validates the host name in the certificate.
Trust Store
The location and name of the truststore file.
For the serverless runtime environment, specify the following certificate path in the serverless agent directory:
/home/cldagnt/SystemAgent/serverless/configurations/ssl_store/<TrustStore_filename>
Trust Store Password
The password to access the contents of the truststore file.
Host Name in Certificate
Host name of the machine that hosts the secure database.
If you specify a host name, the Secure Agent validates the host name included in the connection with the host name in the SSL certificate.
Key Store
The location and the file name of the keystore.
For the serverless runtime environment, specify the following certificate path in the serverless agent directory:
/home/cldagnt/SystemAgent/serverless/configurations/ssl_store/<KeyStore_filename>
Key Store Password
The password for the keystore file required for secure communication.
Key Password
The password for the individual keys in the keystore file required for secure communication.
Connection Retry Period
Number of seconds the Secure Agent attempts to reconnect to the Oracle database if the connection fails. If the Secure Agent can't connect to the database in the retry period, the operation fails.
Used for all operations. Default is 0.
Metadata Advanced Connection Properties
Additional properties for the JDBC driver to fetch the metadata.
If you specify more than one property, separate each key-value pair with a semicolon.
For example,
ConnectionRetryCount=2
;
ConnectionRetryDelay=20
To connect to an Oracle database enabled for advanced security, you can specify the Oracle advanced security options for the JDBC driver.
For example,
EncryptionTypes=AES256
;
EncryptionLevel=accepted;DataIntegrityLevel=accepted
;
DataIntegrityTypes=SHA1
Runtime Advanced Connection Properties
Additional properties for the ODBC driver to run
mappings
.
If you specify more than one property, separate each key-value pair with a semicolon.
For example,
charset=sjis
;
readtimeout=180
To connect to an Oracle database enabled for advanced security, you can specify the Oracle advanced security options for the ODBC driver.
For example,
EncryptionTypes=AES256
;
EncryptionLevel=1;
DataIntegrityLevel=1
;
DataIntegrityTypes=SHA1
;
DataIntegrityTypes=SHA1
You can configure the following Oracle-specific custom properties under the Secure Agent configuration properties:
Custom property
Description
OdbcDataDirectNonWapi
For mappings
,
replication
tasks,
synchronization
tasks,
and
mapping
tasks that use relational multibyte data, add the
OdbcDataDirectNonWapi
property and set the property to 0 to process Unicode data.
When you set this property to 0, the processing time of single-byte data might increase.
Enter the following values:
  • For Type, select
    DTM
    .
  • For Sub-type, select
    INFO
    .
  • For Name, enter
    OdbcDataDirectNonWapi
    .
  • For Value, enter
    0
    .
oracle.use.varchar.for.number
For mappings
,
replication
tasks,
synchronization
tasks,
and
mapping
tasks that have an Oracle source and a Salesforce target, set the
oracle.use.varchar.for.number
custom property if the Oracle source contains many fields with the Number data type. Values for fields with the Number data type don't load correctly in Salesforce. Enter the following values:
  • For Type, select
    Tomcat
    .
  • For Name, enter
    oracle.use.varchar.for.number
    .
  • For Value, enter
    true
    .
