Configuring a connection

You can create a connection for connectors that are installed in

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

. You can create a connection on the

Connections

page in

Administrator

or when you create a source, target, or lookup object in a mapping or task in

Data Integration

When you configure a connection, you specify properties for the connection. Connection properties enable an agent to connect to data sources.

Configure the following connection details:

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 100 characters. Connection names are not case sensitive.
Description	Description of the connection. Maximum length is 255 characters.
Type	Type of connection, such as Salesforce or Oracle.

Select the runtime environment to be used with the connection.

Configure the connection-specific properties.

For example, if you configure a flat file connection, enter the directory where the files are stored, the date format for date fields in the files, and the code page of the system that hosts the files.
