Overview
The DAS (Data Access Service) connector in Informatica CAI (Cloud Application Integration) enables seamless integration with SQL databases by allowing you to define and execute SQL queries directly within your integration workflows. This capability is crucial for scenarios where data needs to be retrieved, updated, or manipulated within relational database systems as part of automated integration processes.
Pre-Requisites
To use the Data Access Service (DAS) connector in Informatica Application Integration (CAI), you typically need to fulfill the following prerequisites:
- Access to Informatica CAI: You must have access to the Informatica CAI platform where you can configure and manage integrations.
- Database Credentials: You need valid credentials (username and password) for the SQL database you intend to connect to using the DAS connector.
- Database Connection Details: Knowledge of the database type (e.g., Oracle, MySQL), hostname, port, and database name is required to establish the connection and the database driver for connecting to database.
- Network Accessibility: Ensure that the secure agent you will use for the DAS connection can reach the SQL database server over the network. This may involve configuring firewall rules or VPN access if the database is hosted on-premises or in a separate network.
