Creating an Optim directory connection in the connection manager

You can create an Optim™ directory connection manually in the connection manager before the Optim directory is created with the Optim Configuration program. The Optim directory connection contains the connection information for the Optim directory and the Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver for the Optim directory database.

You must use a user account with ocmadmin or admin access to access the connection manager.

The connection manager must have a JDBC driver for the Optim directory database. If the connection manager does not have the correct JDBC driver, you must have the JDBC driver to upload to the connection manager. Upload the JDBC driver when you create the Optim directory connection.

You must also have the JDBC connection properties that the connection manager can use to connect to the Optim directory database. The connection properties can include the following database properties:
  • Vendor and version
  • Host name or IP address
  • Port number
  • Schema
  • User ID and password
To create an Optim directory connection in the connection manager:
  1. Access the connection manager in a browser and sign in.
  2. Click New.
  3. Complete the steps in the wizard.
