The Connection tab includes the
Connection String and database qualifier for the Optim™ Directory.
Connection String
The
value used by Optim to
connect to the database that contains the selected Optim Directory. This value varies according
to database management system:
DBMS |
Connection String Example |
DB2® |
Database Name or Alias |
Informix® |
Server Name |
Oracle |
Connection String or Host
String |
SQL Server |
Data Source Name (DSN)
or Server |
Sybase ASE |
Server Name |
Note: For Teradata, you cannot create the Optim Directory in a Teradata database, so
you must create the Optim Directory
in another supported database, such as Oracle or DB2 with a Federation Server instance; and the
DB Alias in that database must point to the Teradata database.
DB Name
The
DB Name (1 to 64 characters) identifies the database. This parameter
applies to database management systems that support multiple databases
within a single database server, such as Sybase ASE and SQL Server.
