Connecting to the database from Toolkit
Databases contain business data that is written and accessed by deployed message flows.
A database connection is a configuration file where you specify a database's physical details such as database type and version, and parameters to enable a JDBC connection from the Toolkit to the database.
Note: If you have created a database name other than
ACMFG
, make sure that you set
the environment variable ‘ACMFG_SCHEMA_NAME
’ to the specified database name and
restart the Toolkit.You can create a connection between the Toolkit and the database by using the following methods:
- Configure the database connection using an environment variable.
- Configure the database connection from the Toolkit.
Configure the database connection using an environment variable
Perform the following steps to create a database connection by using an environmental variable:
- From the Toolkit, configure the database connection. See, Creating a database connection profile.
- Configure the database connection within an environmental variable. See, Setting the environment variable to support access to the database.
- Restart the Toolkit.
Configure the database connection from the Toolkit
Perform the following steps to create a database connection from the Toolkit.
Note:
- Make sure that there is no any environment variable added with the name of ACMFG_BUILDTIME_CONFIGURATION.
- The database Connection name should start with ACMFG. There should be only one connection name that starts with ACMFG.
From the Toolkit, configure the database connection. See, Creating a database connection profile.
