The first time Business Object Designer Express communicates with JDBCODA, it prompts you to enter a set of initialization properties as shown in Figure 9. You can save these properties in a named profile so that you do not need to re-enter them each time you use JDBCODA. For information on specifying an ODA profile, see the Business Object Development Guide.
Figure 9. Configuring agent initialization properties
Configure the JDBCODA properties described in Table 11.
Row number | Property name | Property type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 |
UserName | String | Name of the user with authorization to connect to the database |
2 |
Password | String | Password of the user with authorization to connect to the database |
3 |
DatabaseUrl | String | URL that enables a connection to the database. For example: jdbc:oracle:thin:@MACHINENAME:1521:SIDNAME |
4 |
DatabaseDriver | String | Name of the driver used to establish the connection. For example: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver |
5 |
DefaultBOPrefix | String | Text that is prepended to the name of the business object to make it unique. You can change this later, if required, when Business Object Designer Express prompts you for business object properties. For more information, see "Providing additional information". |
6 |
TraceFileName | String | File into which JDBCODA writes trace information. If the file does not exist, JDBCODA creates it in the \ODA\JDBC directory. If the file already exists, JDBCODA appends to it. JDBCODA names the file according to the naming convention. For example, if the agent is named JDBCODA, it generates a trace file named JDBCODAtrace.txt. Use this property to specify a different name for this file. |
7 |
TraceLevel | Integer | Level of tracing enabled for JDBCODA |
8 |
MessageFile | String | Name of the error and message file. JDBCODA displays the filename according to the naming convention. For example, if the agent is named JDBCODA, the value of the message file property displays as JDBCODAAgent.txt.Important: The error and message file must be located in the \ODA\messages directory. Use this property to verify or specify an existing file. |

Correct the name of the message file if the default value displayed in Business Object Designer represents a non-existent file. If the name is not correct when you move forward from this dialog box, Business Object Designer displays an error message in the window from which the ODA was launched. This message does not popup in Business Object Designer. Failing to specify a valid message file causes the ODA to run without messages. |
