Mock connectors

Database Ingestion and Replication

supports mock, or sample, connections for some of the sources and targets. Use mock connections to learn how to create

initial load tasks without creating real connections to the database.

A mock connector does not connect to a real database. Instead, a source mock connector uses flat files with sample data. A target mock connector reports the information about processed source data to

Database Ingestion and Replication

user interface, but it does not write any data to the target.

The sample connections appear in the source and target connection lists in

Database Ingestion and Replication

if you have the MockConnector license.

The following table lists mock connections that you can use for

Database Ingestion and Replication

sources and targets:

Connection name	Source or Target
Sample Oracle Connection	Source
Sample SQL Server Connection	Source
Sample S3 Connection	Target
Sample ADLS Gen2 Connection	Target

You must use sample connections for both the source and target databases. You cannot use a sample connection for only one of them, for example, for the source but not for the target.

Source data

The source data for sample connections is stored in CVS files in the following directory:

Secure_Agent_installation/downloads/package-MockConnector.version/package/sampleData/source/database_type/

Each file represents a single table. A mock table name matches the file name. The first line in a file determines column headers, and the subsequent lines contain row data.
