Overview
Use this account type to connect Oracle Snaps with datasources that use Oracle Thin Dynamic accounts. This account deals with the dynamically calculated values. You can specify the account properties as expressions referencing pipeline parameters. The values for dynamic accounts are not stored; hence, use them when requested.
Troubleshooting
- None.
Account Settings
Use the Create Account window\Settings tab to create Oracle Thin Dynamic accounts:
Parameter Name | Data Type | Description | Default Value | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
Label | String | Required. The name for the account. Preferably, update the account name if your project includes more than one account of the same type. | N/A | Oracle123DB |
Account properties | String | Required. Enter the information to create a connection to the database. | N/A | N/A |
Hostname | String | Required. The server address to which the application must connect. | N/A | oratestdb2.cwztruwzzvnq.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com |
Port Number | String | Required. The database server's port number to which the application must connect. | 1521 | 1521 |
Database name | String | Required. The database name to which the application must connect. | N/A | MYDB |
Username | String | The user name that is allowed to connect to the database. It is used as the default username when retrieving connections. The user name must be valid in order to set up the data source. | N/A | TECTONIC |
Password | String | The password used to connect to the data source. It is used as the default password when retrieving connections. The password must be valid in order to set up the data source. | N/A | N/A |
JDBC JARs | String | List of JDBC JAR files to be loaded. Click to add a JDBC Driver; click to remove a JDBC Driver. | N/A | N/A |
JDBC Driver | String | Enter the JDBC jar file to be loaded. Use to select an existing file. A different driver binary for a driver must have a different name, the same name can not be reused for a different driver. If this property is left blank, a default JDBC driver is loaded. Only v11.2.0.4.0 of a JDBC driver supports user-defined types. | N/A | N/A |
JDBC Driver Class | String | Required. The name of the JBDC driver to use. | oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver | oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver |
Database specifier type | String | Specify the database specifier type to use. The selected option decides which format of URL for JDBC is to be used internally. The valid options are:
| Service name | Service name |
SSL/ TCPS | String | Opt for or against connecting through SSL to the Oracle instance. If selected, the following format of URL is used internally: jdbc:oracle:thin@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)(HOST=<HOST>)(PORT=<PORT>))(CONNECT_DATA=(<SID/ SERVICE_NAME>=<DATABASE_NAME>))) | Not Selected | Not Selected |
Advanced properties | N/A | Specify advanced properties to connect to the database. | N/A | N/A |
Auto commit | String | Opt for or against setting the auto-commit property for a database.
| Selected | Selected |
Batch size | Integer | Required. Set the number of statements that the Snap must execute at a time. Select queries are not batched. Using a large batch size could use up the JDBC placeholder limit of 2100. | 50 | 100 |
Fetch size | Integer | Required. Set the number of rows that the Snap must fetch at a time when executing a query. Large values could cause the server to run out of memory. | 100 | 100 |
Max pool size | Integer | Required. Set the maximum number of connections that a pool must maintain at a time. | 50 | 50 |
Max life time | Integer | Required. Set the maximum time (in minutes) of a connection in the pool. 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. | 30 | 35 |
Idle Timeout | Integer | Required. Set the maximum time (in seconds) that a connection is allowed to sit idle in the pool. A value of 0 indicates that idle connections are never removed from the pool. | 5 | 5 |
Checkout timeout | Integer | Required. Set the time in milliseconds to wait for a connection to be available when the pool is exhausted. Zero waits forever. An exception is thrown after the wait time has expired. | 10000 | 10000 |
URL Properties | N/A | Specify input regarding URL properties. | N/A | N/A |
URL property name | String | Name for the URL property. | N/A | Batch refresh time in seconds |
URL property value | N/A | Value for the URL property. | N/A | 10 |
