The connection pool element corresponds to the connection pool object in the Physical layer.
The connection pool tag includes the following attributes:

unicodeDB |
This attribute is typically set to |
tempTablePrefix |
The first two characters in a temporary table name. The default value is |
tempTableOwner |
Table owner name used to qualify a temporary table name in a SQL statement, for example to create the table |
tempTableDatabase |
Database where the temporary table will be created. This property applies only to IBM OS/390, because IBM OS/390 requires the database name qualifier to be part of the |
tempTableSpace |
Tablespace where the temporary table will be created. This property applies only to IBM OS/390, because IBM OS/390 requires the tablespace name qualifier to be part of the |
user |
The user name for the data source. |
password |
The password for the data source. Note that passwords are encrypted. |
timeout |
The amount of time that a connection to the data source will remain open after a request completes. During this time, new requests use this connection rather than open a new one (up to the number specified for the maximum connections). The time is reset after each completed connection request. If you set the timeout to 0 (the default), connection pooling is disabled. In other words, each connection to the data source terminates immediately when the request completes. Any new connections either use another connection pool or open a new connection. |
maxConnDiff |
The maximum number of total connections allowed to this connection pool across all users. |
dataSource |
The data source name that is configured to access the database to which you want to connect. The data source name must contain valid logon information for the data source. |
reqQualifedTableName |
If set to true, indicates that this database requires fully qualified table names. The fully qualified names are based on the physical object names in the repository. |
isSharedLogin |
If set to true, all users whose queries use the connection pool will access the underlying database using the same user name and password. |
isConcurrentQueriesInConnection |
An option that enables a single database connection to remain open for the specified time for use by future query requests. If you do not select this option, each query sent to the database opens a new connection. In the Administration Tool, this option corresponds to a value of "selected" for Enable connection pooling in the General tab of the Connection Pool dialog. |
isCloseAfterEveryRequest |
If set to true, indicates that the connection pool gets closed after every query. In the Administration Tool, this option corresponds to a value of "not selected" for Enable connection pooling in the General tab of the Connection Pool dialog. |
isAsyncExecution |
An option that indicates that the data source supports asynchronous queries. |
executeOnCmd |
A command that is to be executed by the Oracle BI Server each time a connection is made to the database. The command may be any command accepted by the database. |
xslPath |
For XML data sources only. An XSLT file contains formatting rules written according to the XSLT standard. It defines how an XML file may be transformed. Specifying the XSLT file in the connection pool applies it to all the XML physical tables in the connection pool. Used when |
maxConn |
The maximum number of total connections allowed to this connection pool for a given user. |
xmlRefreshInterval |
For XML data sources only. The time interval after which the XML data source is queried again directly, rather than using results in cache. |
scriptPath |
The connection method Search script. This option is used for XML Server data sources. |
outputType |
For XML data sources only. The query output format ( In the Administration Tool, this option is called Query output format in the XML tab of the Connection Pool dialog. If this option is not set, the query output format is assumed to be a custom format, and the value for |
gwDelim |
The delimiting characters for the query output format. Used when |
xpath |
An XPath expression is a simple XSLT transformation rule that fits into one line. Used when |
convertScriptPath |
Used when |
ignoreFirstLine |
If set to true, indicates that the first line of the output file is ignored. |

trailerPath |
The path to the trailer file, if any, used as a query input supplement. Used for XML Server data sources. |
supportParams |
Indicates whether the data source supports parameters. If set to false, and the database features table supports parameters, special code executes that enables the Oracle BI Server to push filters (or calculations) with parameters to the database. |
isolationLevel |
For ODBC and DB2 gateways. Sets the transaction isolation level on each connection to the back-end database. The isolation level setting controls the default transaction locking behavior for all statements issued by a connection. Options are as follows:
|
xmlaInfo |
The vendor-specific information used to connect to the multidimensional data source. |
xmlaCatalog |
The list of catalogs available. The cube tables correspond to the catalog you use in the connection pool. |
xmlaUseSession |
If set to true, causes queries go through a common session. |
multiThreaded |
If set to true, indicates that the connection pool supports multi-threading, or in other words, that one connection pool can support multiple queries. If this option is set to false, each query is tied to a single database connection. |
type |
The call interface type. |
appServerName |
The name of the ADF application server. |
appServerPort |
The port number of the ADF application server. |
appID |

The AW level element corresponds to the Oracle OLAP level object in the Physical layer.
The AW level element is not a top-level element - it appears as a child element of the AW hierarchy element.
The AW level tag includes the following attributes:
Table 3-34 AW Level Tag Attributes
Attribute Name | Description |
---|---|
extName |
The physical name that is used when referencing the level in physical SQL queries. |
dataType |
The data type of the Oracle OLAP level, such as |
nullable |
If set to true, indicates that null values are allowed for the Oracle OLAP level. This allows null values to be returned to the user, which is expected with certain functions and with outer joins. |
precision |
The precision of the data type of the Oracle OLAP level. |
scale |
The scale of the data type of the Oracle OLAP level. |
levelKeyRef |
References the key column for this Oracle OLAP level. |
awHierarchyRef |
References the AW hierarchy for this Oracle OLAP level. |
The AW level tag does not include any child elements.

The AW column element corresponds to the AW column object in the Physical layer.
The AW column element is not a top-level element - it appears as a child element of the AW cube and AW dimension elements.
The AW column tag includes the following attributes:
Table 3-35 AW Column Tag Attributes
Attribute Name | Description |
---|---|
extName |
The physical name that is used when referencing the column in physical SQL queries. |
isParentKey |
Indicates whether this Oracle OLAP column is a parent key for a level. |
dataType |
The data type of the Oracle OLAP column, such as |
scale |
The scale of the data type of the Oracle OLAP column. |
nullable |
If set to true, indicates that null values are allowed for the Oracle OLAP column. This allows null values to be returned to the user, which is expected with certain functions and with outer joins. |
precision |
The precision of the data type of the Oracle OLAP column. |
awHierarchyRef |
For value-based hierarchies, references the AW hierarchy for this Oracle OLAP column. |
awLevelRef |
References the hierarchy level for this Oracle OLAP column. |
The AW column tag does not include any child elements.
