Server Parameters 
You configure the following parameters for servers that use the SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) database access system. Some parameters only apply to certain data server types.
Note
Before you configure SQL connectors on the Data Servers screen, you must upload your JDBC Drivers. To find JDBCDriver and ServerURL parameter values, see your database provider's information. For a list of drivers registered with Sun Microsystems, see developers.sun.com.
Parameter |
Description |
Autobind |
SAP MII Workbench connector parameter that passes parameters with the same names as the input parameters for the transaction to SAP MII and includes their values. If you do not select this checkbox, you must assign input parameters to the standard parameter names using the Xacute Query template. |
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'). |
Description |
Text field for additional information about the data server. |
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. |
IP |
Machine name or internet protocol (IP) address from where requests are made. For a universal data connector (UDC), the IP is where the universal data server (UDS) is installed. For an SAP MII connector, the IP is the machine name where the SAP MII is running. For anything running on the local machine, enter localhost. |
JDBCDriver |
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver classpath used to connect to the server. See JDBC Drivers. |
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. The Servers.xml file 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. |
Port |
Socket used for communication with the server. For the UDC, the port is a direct socket communication and is the port that is configured in the agent definition. For the SAP MII connector, it is the HTTP port on which SAP MII is listening (NetWeaver HTTP port). |
Protocol |
Protocol for URL requests for the server. It is used by SAP MII and proxy connectors and is defined as HTTP or HTTPS. |
QueryTimeout |
Length of time that elapses before a UDC and OLEDB connector request is terminated. For example, if the QueryTimeout value is five seconds and it takes 10 seconds to retrieve the requested data, the query request is terminated. |
ServerPackage |
SAP MII Java class that is instantiated for the server. Do not change this parameter. |
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 hammer9 is connected to the MyDatabase database using TCP/IP port 1433. For additional URL parameters, see the documentation from the vendor of the JDBC driver you are using. |
SimulatorInstanceName |
List of tags and their values used by the simulator to store configuration information. |
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. |
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. |
Writable |
Indicator used by the UDC and OLEDB connectors to determine whether you can update values in the server. |
