Planning Security

The security required for your adapter depends on the interaction with the external system that it requires.

Note the following:

• Data Mart adapters and processing engine adapters for Programs require no security coordination with the external system. The user must have proper Oracle LSH security privileges in order to define and run the Data Mart or run the Program. The DP Server automatically provides an account and unique password for each job through the service instance to allow the processing engine to connect to the Oracle LSH database to process data; see Planning for Object Execution.
• Load Set adapters may require security coordination with the external system; for example, it may be necessary for users to have a user account with the same name in both systems. File-based Load Sets require access to the files to be loaded. Database-based Load Sets may require additional security.
• Program and Business Area IDE adapters generally require the most complex security coordination between the two systems; see Synchronizing Security with Integrated Environments.
