By default, Optim™ data sources use a JDBC connection for relational databases. For faster processing, you can define a native data source connection for an Optim data source. Native data source connections are not available for all supported databases.
Native data source connection properties apply to the associated Optim data source.
A native data source connection is based on a database client connection. To use a native database client connection, a client for the database must be installed on the Optim Designer machine.
If a native data source connection is available, you can define or edit a native data source connection from the following locations:
To define a native data source, you must provide the connection string and character set for the database as well as the credentials for the user who will execute data management services that use the data source.
