Configuring a connection

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.
  1. 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.
  2. Select the runtime environment to be used with the connection.
  3. 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.
  4. To test the connection, click
    Test Connection
    .
