DB2 Connection Properties

Use a DB2 connection to access tables in an IBM DB2 database.
The following table describes the DB2 connection properties:
Property
Description
User name
Database user name.
Password
Password for the user name.
Pass-through security enabled
When enabled, the Data Integration Service connects to an IBM DB2 source with the client user credentials instead of the credentials from a connection object.
Data Access Connect String
Connection string to preview data and run mappings. Enter dbname from the alias configured in the IBM DB2 client.
Code Page
Database code page.
Metadata Access Connect String
Connection string to import physical data objects. Use the following connection string: jdbc:informatica:db2://<host>:50000;databaseName=<dbname>
Advanced JDBC Security Options
Secure JDBC parameters for the JDBC connection string.
Environment SQL
Optional. Enter SQL commands to set the database environment when you connect to the database. The Data Integration Service executes the connection environment SQL each time it connects to the database.
Transaction SQL
Optional. Enter SQL commands to set the database environment when you connect to the database. The Data Integration Service executes the transaction environment SQL at the beginning of each transaction.
Tablespace
Tablespace name of the IBM DB2 database.
SQL identifier character to use
The type of character used to identify special characters and reserved SQL keywords, such as WHERE. The Data Integration Service places the selected character around special characters and reserved SQL keywords. The Data Integration Service also uses this character for the Support mixed case identifiers property.
Support mixed case identifiers
When enabled, the Data Integration Service places identifier characters around table, view, schema, synonym, and column names when generating and executing SQL against these objects in the connection. Use if the objects have mixed-case or lowercase names. By default, this option is selected.
