Finding connector details
When you develop integrations by using App Connect Designer, you must have an idea about the applications that you want to connect to, including how to authenticate, what connections are supported, and which actions and events are available.
Detailed, application‑specific guidance is provided in the How‑to guides for apps in the App Connect in containers (Long-Term Support Cycle-3) documentation. The how-to guides describe each supported application and explain how to configure and use it in your flows.
- Supported applications and connectors
- Authentication and credential requirements
- How to create and manage connections
- Available actions and events that App Connect can perform on an application
- Connector limitations
Connecting to database connectors
App Connect Designer provides native connectors for several databases, including Amazon Redshift, IBM® Db2®, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle Database, and PostgreSQL. These native database connectors are not currently available in the App Connect Enterprise Toolkit palette.
In the App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, you can connect to IBM Db2, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle Database, and PostgreSQL databases by using ODBC nodes.
Installing the bind package for IBM Db2 on z/OS
- If the credentials that you provide for the connection have sufficient privileges, the bind package is installed automatically when the first connection to the database is made.
- If the credentials do not have sufficient privileges, you must provide the bind package file to your IBM Db2 administrator for manual installation. The bind package file is available in the product installation at the location server/sample/discovery-connectors/db2-zos-bind-package.tar.gz. This file includes the required instructions and information for manually installing the bind package in the IBM Db2 on z/OS environment.
