IBM DB2 Connection Properties

IBM DB2 Connection Properties

Use an IBM DB2 connection to access IBM DB2. An IBM DB2 connection is a relational database connection. You can create and manage an IBM DB2 connection in the Developer tool.

The following table describes IBM DB2 connection properties:

Property	Description
Database Type	The database type.
Name	Name of the connection. The name is not case sensitive and must be unique within the domain. The name cannot exceed 128 characters, contain spaces, or contain the following special characters: ~ ` ! $ % ^ & * ( ) - + = { [ } ] \| \ : ; " ' < , > . ? /
ID	String that the Data Integration Service uses to identify the connection. The ID is not case sensitive. It must be 255 characters or less and must be unique in the domain. You cannot change this property after you create the connection. Default value is the connection name.
Description	The description of the connection. The description cannot exceed 765 characters.
User Name	The database user name.
Password	The password for the database user name.
Pass-through security enabled	Enables pass-through security for the connection. When you enable pass-through security for a connection, the domain uses the client user name and password to log into the corresponding database, instead of the credentials defined in the connection object.
Connection String for data access	The IBM DB2 connection URL used to access metadata from the database. dbname Where dbname is the alias configured in the IBM DB2 client.
Metadata Access Properties: Connection String	The connection string used to access the metadata. Use the following connection URL: jdbc:informatica:db2://<host name>:<port>;DatabaseName=<database name>
AdvancedJDBCSecurityOptions	Database parameters for metadata access to a secure database. Informatica treats the value of the AdvancedJDBCSecurityOptions field as sensitive data and stores the parameter string encrypted. To connect to a secure database, include the following parameters: EncryptionMethod. Required. Indicates whether data is encrypted when transmitted over the network. This parameter must be set to SSL. ValidateServerCertificate. Optional. Indicates whether Informatica validates the certificate that is sent by the database server. If this parameter is set to True, Informatica validates the certificate that is sent by the database server. If you specify the HostNameInCertificate parameter, Informatica also validates the host name in the certificate. If this parameter is set to false, Informatica does not validate the certificate that is sent by the database server. Informatica ignores any truststore information that you specify. HostNameInCertificate. Optional. Host name of the machine that hosts the secure database. If you specify a host name, Informatica validates the host name included in the connection string against the host name in the SSL certificate. TrustStore. Required. Path and file name of the truststore file that contains the SSL certificate for the database. TrustStorePassword. Required. Password for the truststore file for the secure database. Informatica appends the secure JDBC parameters to the connection string. If you include the secure JDBC parameters directly to the connection string, do not enter any parameters in the AdvancedJDBCSecurityOptions field.
Data Access Properties: Connection String	The connection string used to access data from the database. For IBM DB2 this is <database name> .
Code Page	The code page used to read from a source database or to write to a target database or file.
Environment SQL	SQL commands to set the database environment when you connect to the database. The Data Integration Service runs the connection environment SQL each time it connects to the database.
Transaction SQL	SQL commands to set the database environment when you connect to the database. The Data Integration Service runs the transaction environment SQL at the beginning of each transaction.
Retry Period	This property is reserved for future use.
Tablespace	The tablespace name of the database.
SQL Identifier Character	The type of character used to identify special characters and reserved SQL keywords, such as WHERE. The Data Integration Service places the selected character around special characters and reserved SQL keywords. The Data Integration Service also uses this character for the Support Mixed-case Identifiers property. Select the character based on the database in the connection.
Support Mixed-case Identifiers	When enabled, the Data Integration Service places identifier characters around table, view, schema, synonym, and column names when generating and executing SQL against these objects in the connection. Use if the objects have mixed-case or lowercase names. By default, this option is not selected.
ODBC Provider	ODBC. The type of database to which ODBC connects. Select one of the following database options: Other Sybase Microsoft_SQL_Server Default is Other.
