Specify the Connection to the RDBMS
Specify the connection for the configurator to use to connect to the RDBMS.
1. Choose the RDBMS in which to create the database components and provide the URL for the RDBMS. Below is additional information for the URL.

For DB2, if you are going to create database components in a schema other than the default schema for the specified database user, you must specify these connection options in the URL:
;AlternateId=schema;"InitializationString=(SET CURRENT
PATH=current_path,schema)"
AlternateID is the name of the default schema used to qualify unqualified database objects in dynamically prepared SQL statements.
If you are creating Optimize database components, you must specify schema using all uppercase letters. In addition, you must specify the options CreateDefaultPackage=true,ReplacePackage=true, and DynamicSections=3000. These settings will affect all database components in the same schema or database.
If you are using a schema other than the default schema for the specified database user, you must also add the option showSelectableTables=false to the URL. The database driver queries SYSIBM.SYSDBAUTH at connection time to find out whether the current user is an admin or not. The results of this check allows a query to getTables() to return tables for which the user has SELECT privileges. An admin has implicit select privileges on all tables instead of the explicit privileges that other types of users have, so the driver has to alter its native SQL for getTables(). Set showSelectableTables=false and the driver will skip the check for SYSIBM.SYSDBAUTH at connection time.

For Oracle, if you are creating storage and the Data Purge database component, you must specify the sysLoginRole connection option on the URL (for example,
;sysLoginRole=sysdba).

For information about options supported by the DataDirect Connect JDBC 5.1 driver used by your products, including options that support clustering, data encryption (SSL), and different authentication methods, see the DataDirect Connect documentation, available on the
Software AG Documentation website.
2. The user ID and password you specify depend on the task you are going to perform, as described below.
Note:
You can choose to specify this authentication information in the URL, using DataDirect options, rather than in these fields.
If you are... | Specify... |
Creating a database user and storage in DB2 | OS user to which to grant permissions, and the password for that user. |
Creating a database user and storage in Oracle, SQL Server, or Tibero | Database user and password to create. For SQL Server, the user will be created and a default schema named dbo will be assigned to that user. For Oracle or Tibero, do not use the SYSTEM user to create the database components in the SYSTEM schema. For Oracle 12c or later, do not create the database user in the Container Database (CDB). Instead, create the database use in the Pluggable Database (PDB), by specifying the PDB service name in the URL. |
Performing any other action | Existing database user and password. |
3. If you intend to run the configurator more than once, you can set the current field values as the defaults for subsequent runs by clicking Save Settings. The values for the two Password fields are not saved.
4. Click Execute.
