Whenever you run a Model, the DataManager will connect to an Oracle database. Which database to connect to is specified in the connection configuration file. The name and location of the connection configuration file is specified at the setting ITPDMINIFILE= in the ITP configuration file. You can set or change this setting with the ITP Administration Program. The value of this setting is the name of a file. The connection configuration file is called the DataManager ini file or Dm.ini file. You can change the contents of the Dm.ini file with the ITP Administration Program by selecting Connection configuration.
We advise to use the UserId, Password and Server setting to specify a userid, password and server and not the Connstr setting. If a Connstr setting has been specified, it will be split into userid, password and server (if provided). Any available values specified at UserId, Password or Server will overwrite these values.
Note
Please note that the password specified in de Connstr setting is not encrypted and therefor readable to whomever has read-access on the Dm.ini file! Use the setting Password, which can contain an encrypted version of the password. If the data source requires a password and it is not supplied through a setting in ITP/CS, the user is prompted for a password. ITP/BatchServer will consider this an error.
