Configuring Relational and Application Connections in Informatica Workflow Manager

4.12.2.2 How to Configure Application Connections for PeopleSoft OLTP Data Sources
PeopleSoft OLTP data sources use Application Connections that implement Informatica's PowerConnect for PeopleSoft. PeopleSoft OLTP data sources do not use relational connections. Therefore, you need to use Informatica Workflow Manager to define Application Connections for the PeopleSoft OLTP data sources as described below. Note: You need to configure relational connections for OLAP databases with PeopleSoft adapters (for more information, see Section 4.12.2.1, "How to Configure Relational Connections."). To configure Application Connections for PeopleSoft OLTP data sources:
1.

In Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager, select Connections, then Application, to display the Application Connection Browser dialog. You need to create an Application Connection for each PeopleSoft transactional (OLTP) data source.

2.

For each Application Connection that you need to create, do the following.
a.

Click New to display the Select Subtype dialog, select the appropriate database type (for example, PeopleSoft Oracle), then click OK to display the Connection Object Definition dialog. Use the Connection Object Definition dialog to define an Application Connection (for example, a connection named PSFT_9_0_HCM).

b.

c.

Click OK to save the details.

Notes:
I

You must specify the Name value exactly as it appears in the Physical Data Sources tab in the DAC Setup View. For example, if your source system is named PSFT_9_0_HCM in DAC, then you must name this connection as PSFT_9_0_HCM. For more information, see Section 4.11.3, "Setting Physical Data Sources".

4.12.2.3 (Teradata specific) How to Configure the Informatica Repository for Teradata External Loader Connections
To configure the Informatica Repository for Teradata, you need to do the following:
I

Specify Loader Connections for Teradata (for more information, see Section 4.12.2.3.1, "How to Specify Loader Connections for Teradata"). For each workflow, specify Loader Connection details at the session level (for more information, see Section 4.12.2.3.2, "How to Specify Teradata Details at the Workflow Level").

4.12.2.3.1 How to Specify Loader Connections for Teradata Follow this procedure to configure the Informatica Repository in Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager for Teradata external loader connections.
1.

In Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager, select Connections, then Loader to display the Loader Connection Browser. In the Objects list, select Teradata_Tpump_Upsert, and then click Edit to display the Connection Object Definition dialog. Edit the User Name, Password, TDPID, Database Name, Error Database, and Log Table Database, and other attributes as necessary. Please note that if you do not enter the Error Database and Log Table Database, Informatica will default it to the same as the Tables Database. Repeat these steps for the following objects: Teradata_Tpump_Update Teradata_Tpump_Insert Teradata_Tpump_Delete Teradata_Tpump_Upsert
