Configuring JDBC Accounts
On this Page
Overview
You can create a Generic JDBC Account to connect to data sources that you want to use in your pipelines. You can configure your Generic JDBC account in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.
Snap-Account Compatibility
Configuring Generic JDBC Account Using SnapLogic Designer
Drag a Generic JDBC Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.
Selecting an existing account
SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts you have access to, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:
In the Account tab, click the Expand icon to view the accounts you have access to and select an account.
Click the Save icon.
Creating an account
In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.
Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the Generic JDBC Account Type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog window associated with the account type is displayed.
Enter the required account details. Learn more on how to provide information for the account type in Generic JDBC account.
Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.
Click Apply to complete configuring the Generic JDBC account.
Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.
Configuring Generic JDBC Account Using SnapLogic Manager
You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with pipelines.
Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.
In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click > Account > JDBC > Generic JDBC Account, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type is displayed.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section.
Avoid updating account credentials while pipelines using that account are executing. Doing so may lead to unexpected results, including your account getting locked.
