E.2 Configuring the Database Connections for the JDBC Driver

You can create new database connections for the drivers that support fan-out configuration by using the Fan-Out Configuration Editor of Designer.

For example, you can configure multiple database connections for the Oracle Fan-Out driver. Each driver instance loaded by the Fan-Out Agent uses this database connection information to connect to the database and for tracing purpose.

To configure the database connections:

  1. In the Fan-Out Configuration Editor page, click the sign.

  2. To add a new fan-out connection, specify the following information:

    • Name: Specify the name for the new connection.

    • User: Specify the user name with which the fanned out JDBC driver instance will authenticate with the database.

    • Connection Password: Specify the password required by the JDBC driver for authentication with this instance.

    • Server: Specify the server with which you want the fanned out instance to connect. For more information, see JDBC URL Syntaxes in the NetIQ Identity Manager Driver for JDBC Implementation Guide.

    • Trace Level: Specify the trace level for the database connection. This defines the level for logging the trace messages.

    • Trace File: Specify the name of the trace file. This file includes the trace and debugging messages for the driver.

    • Trace File Size: Specify the trace file size. This defines the limit for the trace file.

  3. For the changes to take effect, click Save on the Designer toolbar.

  4. (Conditional) To create multiple database connection for the fan-out configuration, repeat Step 1 through Step 3.
