Connectiontab:

Parameter Description

DatePrefix Prefix to the start date and end date parameters in query templates used to format

the date to match the database configuration.

If you are connecting to a Microsoft SQL server database, the typical prefix is a single

quote. If you are connecting to an Oracle database, an example of a prefix is GetDate

('.

DateSuffix Suffix to the start date and end date parameters in query templates used to format

the date to match the database configuration.

If you are connecting to a Microsoft SQL server database, the typical suffix is a single

quote. If you are connecting to an Oracle database, an example of a suffix is ','MM/

DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS').

InitCommand Command used by the database connector that is run when a connection pool is

created.

You can use it to set the database locale in Oracle.

InternalDateFormat Date format used to construct WHERE clause conditions. Controls the construction

of the WHERE clause for date comparisons for specific databases and servers.

JDBCDriver Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver classpath used to connect to the server.

SeeJDBC Drivers.[external document]

Password Password to connect to the database.

The password field shows six asterisks even if your password has more or less

characters or is blank.

Passwords are not passed between browser clients and the database. TheServers.xmlfile is not accessible through the Web server.

PoolMax Maximum number of connections the pool allocates.

If a request is received and all connections are in use and allocated, the query waits

for an available connection or the specified timeout period.

PoolSize Number of connections to be established with the database when the connection

pool is initialized.

ServerURL Driver-specific string that defines how to access the database.

For example, with the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver, the ServerURL is:

jdbc:inetdae://hammer9:1433?database=MyDatabase&sql7=true.The SQL server

on machine hammer9is connected to the MyDatabasedatabase using TCP/IP port

1433.

For additional URL parameters, see the documentation from the vendor of the JDBC

driver you are using.

TimeOut Length of time (in minutes) that elapses before an unused connection expires and

its resources are released back to the server. The connection pool maintains a

minimum number of connections and, if necessary, creates a new connection.

UseCount Number of times a connection can be used before it is terminated and its resources

are released back to the server.

This parameter is only required for ODBC data sources that have resource leaks

when they execute many statements.

User Name Database-specific user ID.


24/54 PUBLIC 2013-11-25


25/54

Parameter Description

ValidationQuery Query used to determine if a database connection is valid.

For example, when using Microsoft SQL Server, you can use SELECT GETDATE()or

SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderId=-1.

The query does not have to return rows, but it must succeed.

WaitTime Amount of time SAP MII waits for a connection before it fails.

For details on the fields in the Connectiontab, see Server Parameters.[external document]For other types

of data servers, see Data Servers.[external document]
