ODI with Microsoft SQL Server

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create a physical schema to connect to Microsoft SQL Server. When asked user and password for the connection to the server, what rights must the user have in order for this to work?
And when specifying the JDBC URL, what should be the hostname, the same as the server name?
Thank you,
Adina

Hi there,
I use this configuration for connecting SQL Server:
In data server object
* Definition: the must important fields are the username and password
* JDBC:
- JDBC Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
- JDBC URL: jdbc:sqlserver:// *<SERVER IP or NAME>* : <*PORT* (optional, if not defined it will take the default)>
Then you need to create a physical schema where you're going to define the SQL Server database name and the owner or user
* Definition:
- Database(catalog): name of the SQL Server database
- Owner (schema): the name of the owner, for example dbo
- Database(work schema): again the name of the SQL Server database; not required
- Owner(work schema): not required
On local object mask I also modify this field to add the SQL Server user, for example *%CATALOG.dbo.%OBJECT*
On remote object mask I leave the same (*%DSERVER.%CATALOG.%SCHEMA.%OBJECT*)
Hope this was useful for you
Cheers,
