Database Management Connection Profiles

Control-M for Databases enables you to define and monitor Stored Procedures, SQL Scripts, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Packages, and Embedded Query database jobs.

Connection profiles are available for the following databases:

• IBM Db2 Database: ConnectionProfile:Database:DB2

• Java Database Connectivity (JDBC): ConnectionProfile:Database:JDBC

• Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL): ConnectionProfile:Database:MSSQL

• Oracle Database: ConnectionProfile:Database:Oracle

• PostgreSQL Databse: ConnectionProfile:Database:PostgreSQL

• Sybase Database (SAP ASE): ConnectionProfile:Database:Sybase

ConnectionProfile:Database:DB2

The following example shows how to define an IBM Db2 Database connection profile:

"DB2_CONNECTION_PROFILE": 
{
   "Type": "ConnectionProfile:Database:DB2",

   "DatabaseName": "testdb",
   "DatabaseVersion": "2016",
   "AuthenticationType": "Windows Authentication",
   "SkipPackagesTest" : false,
   "SSIS": [
   {
      "Source": "File System",
      "Name": "file_system_package",
      "Password": "password"
   },
   {
      "Source": "SSIS Package Store",
      "Name": "ssis_package",
      "Password": "password"
