Configuring Connections

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Staging Database for Oracle Enterprise Data Quality.

Both the Siebel Connector and EDQ-CDS itself must connect to the staging database to read and write to the Candidate and Match tables when processing batch jobs. These tables can be created in any database and schema, but by default the connection is configured for an Oracle database.

The connection details are specified in the dnd.properties file, see Process of Configuring Oracle Enterprise Data Quality for Matching and Address Verification. To configure these, open the dnd.properties file and edit the six parameters in the Staging database connection details section. These parameters control the database host, port, credentials and other settings used to connect to the staging database.
