Field Name*

Field Type

Description

Label*

Default Value: N/A
Example: SQL Server Dynamic Account

String

Specify a unique label for the account.

Account properties*

Use this fieldset to enter in the information to create a connection to the databse.

Hostname*

Default Value: N/A
Example: 54.98.196.248

String/Expression

Specify the server's address to which you must connect.

Port Numbernumber

Default Value: 1433
Example: 3306

Integer/Expression

Specify the port number of the database server to which you must connect.

  • Remove the port number for Windows-based authentication when connecting to SQL Server account with multiple or named instances. Else, SnapLogic tries to connect to the specified port without checking with the Server Browser service list.

Database name*

Default Value: N/A
Example: ReportServer

String/Expression

 Specify the name of the database to which you must connect.

Username

Default Value: N/A
Example: snaplogic

String/Expression

Specify the username to connect to the database.

This username is used as the default username when retrieving connections and must be valid to set up the data source.

Password

Default Value: N/A
Example: P#2,nxu0oiX2&?

String/Expression

Specify the password used to connect to the data source.

This password is used as the default password when retrieving connections and must be valid to set up the data source.

JDBC JARs*

Use this fieldset to specify the list of JDBC drivers to connect to the SQL Database.

The default driver bundled with the SQL Server Snap Pack is mssql-jdbc-12.2.0.jre11.jar

JDBC Driver JDBC driver

Default Value:N/A
Example: mssql-jdbc-12.2.0.jre11.jar

String

Specify the JDBC driver to use. Do not use the same name if you provide multiple drivers. If this property is left blank, a default JDBC driver is loaded.

Note

SQL Server Snap Pack does not support jTDS driver.

Info

Ensure that the JDBC Driver is available in a project directory that you can access. The JDBC Driver Class should default to com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.

JDBC Driver ClassJDBC driver class*

Default Value: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Example: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

String

Specify the JDBC driver class name to use.

Advanced properties

Use this fieldset to specify the advanced properties for connecting to the database.

Auto commit

Default value: Selected

Checkbox/Expression

Select this check box to commit each of the batches immediately after it is executed. If the Snap fails, only the batch being executed at that moment is rolled back.

When deselected, the Snap execution output is committed only after all the batches are executed. If the Snap fails, the entire transaction is rolled back, unless the Snap finds invalid input data before it sends the insert request to the server, and routes the error documents to the Error view.

Batch size*

Default value: 50
Example: 60

Integer/Expression

Specify the number of statements to execute at a time. Enter the number of statements to be executed within a batch operation.

Info
  • SELECT queries are not batched.

  • When using million rows of data, the bulk copy program (bcp) utility (at the backend) is likely to fail due to lack of space in the database's transaction log. In such cases, use Batch size for better utilization of database resources. However, if you specify a Batch size, the Snap's performance is degraded. Hence, we recommend you to provide Batch size only if your environment is less resource-intensive.

  • Using a large batch size could use up the JDBC placeholder limit of 2100.

Fetch size*

Default value: 100
Example: 80

Integer/Expression

Specify the number of rows to fetch at a time when executing a query.

Large values could cause the server to run out of memory.

Max pool size*

Default value: 50
Example: 60

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum number of connections a pool will maintain at a time.

Max life timelifetime (minutes)*

Default value: 30
Example: 50

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum lifetime of a connection in the pool, in seconds. Ensure that the value you enter is a few seconds shorter than any database or infrastructure-imposed connection time limit.

  • A value of 0 indicates an infinite lifetime, subject to the Idle Timeout value.

  • An in-use connection is never retired.

  • Connections are removed only after they are closed.

Idle Timeouttimeout (minutes)*

Default value: 5
Example: 8

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum amount of time a connection is allowed to sit idle in the pool. A value of 0 indicates that idle connections are never removed from the pool.

Checkout timeout (milliseconds)*

Default value: 10000
Example: 100

Integer/Expression

Specify the number of milliseconds to wait for a connection to be available when the pool is exhausted.

If you specify 0, the Snap waits infinitely until the connection is available. Therefore, we recommend you not to specify 0 for Checkout Timeout.

URL properties

Use this field set to define URL properties to use if any.

URL Property Nameproperty name

Default Value: selectMethod
Example: selectMethod

String/Expression

Specify a name for the URL property if any.

URL Property Valueproperty value

Default Value: cursor
Example: cursor

String/Expression

Specify a value for the URL property name.

Error

Reason

Resolution

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library C:\\opt\\snaplogic\\ldlib\\sqljdbc_auth.dll already loaded in another classloader.

You have uploaded customized JDBC JAR files to the directory.

Remove all JDBC JARs from the SQL Server account and restart the JCC node.

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: This driver is not configured for integrated authentication.

The correct sqljdbc_auth.dll file is not available in the ldlib folder.

Download the appropriate sqljdbc_auth.dll file  and place it in $SL_ROOT/ldlib.

No valid credentials provided
OR
Server not found in Kerberos database.

The Service Principal Name (SPN) is not setup properly.

Ensure that you have setup the SPN for MSSQLSvc service properly.

Defective token detected

Kerberos fails when a mismatch occurs between the SPN for the SQL Server service and the hostName.

For example, if FQDN of the machine is used to setup SPN, the hostName must be an FQDN and not an IP address, while establishing a connection.

Provide a value for hostName that matches with the SPN in context. Also ensure that the properties authenticationSchemedomain and integratedSecurity are defined for the account.
