This post is just a quick note to myself on how to configure JBDC on Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (OEDQ) to connect to different databases.
First let’s talk about connecting to Oracle database. By default, OEDQ’s Data Store can only connect Oracle database by SID, but not by Service Name.
Fortunately, the JDBC connection option is available to take advantage of the connection string that can support Service Name and multiple hosts if needed.
Sample:
Driver class name: weblogic.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host1)(PORT = 1521))(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host2)(PORT = 1521))(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host3)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME = srvname)))
Another sample is to connect Microsoft SQL Server which is requires SSL connection. By default if using Server > Database > Microsoft SQL Server (2000-2008), you will get this error.
[FMWGEN][SQLServer JDBC Driver] The SQL Server login requires an SSL connection. (Code 2,011)
Again, let’s use the JDBC connection instead.
Driver class name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:weblogic:sqlserver://host:1433;databaseName=DBNAME;EncryptionMethod=SSL;ValidateServerCertificate=false
