Default

<not_configured> (One of the following values is set automatically when the Replication Agent instance is created.)

Values

IFXJDBC – Replication Agent uses the Informix JDBC driver to connect to the primary Informix database.

MSMERJDBC – Replication Agent uses the DataDirect JDBC 2.0 driver for Microsoft SQL Server to connect to the primary Microsoft SQL Server database.

ORAJDBC – Replication Agent uses the Oracle JDBC driver to connect to the primary Oracle database.

UDBODBC – Replication Agent uses the DB2 Universal Database JDBC driver to connect to the primary database in DB2 Universal Database.

Comments

The value of the pds_connection_type parameter is set automatically at the time a Replication Agent instance is created. The specific value depends on the type of Replication Agent instance created.
The value of the pds_connection_type parameter determines which of several other Replication Agent configuration parameters related to the primary database connection must also have values specified.
If the value of the pds_connection_type parameter is IFXJDBC, then corresponding values must be specified for the pds_host_name, pds_port_number, pds_database_name, and pds_server_name parameters.
If the value of the pds_connection_type parameter is MSMERJDBC, then corresponding values must be specified for the pds_host_name, pds_port_number, pds_database_name, and pds_server_name parameters.
If the value of the pds_connection_type parameter is ORAJDBC, then corresponding values must be specified for the pds_host_name, pds_port_number, and pds_database_name parameters.
If the value of the pds_connection_type parameter is UDBODBC, then corresponding values must be specified for the pds_database_name and pds_datasource_name parameters.
