Connecting to a GaussDB 100 Data Source

Overview

ROMA Connect can use the GaussDB 100 database as a data source for data integration tasks or data API creation. Before using the GaussDB 100 data source, you need to connect it to ROMA Connect.

Prerequisites

Each connected data source must belong to an integration application. Before connecting a data source, ensure that an integration application is available. Otherwise, create an integration application first.

Procedure

1. Log in to the ROMA Connect console. On the Instances page, click View Console next to a specific instance.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Data Sources. In the upper right corner of the page, click Access Data Source.
3. On the Default tab page, select GaussDB 100 and click Next.
4. Configure the data source connection information.

   Integration Application	Select the integration application to which the GaussDB 100 data source belongs.
   Description	Enter the descriptive information.
   Connection Mode	Select a database connection mode. Default: The system automatically concatenates data source connection character strings based on configured data. Professional: You need to specify the data source connection string manually.
   Version Number	Select the version number of the database to be connected. V100R003C20 and V300R001C00 are supported.

   Connection String	This parameter is mandatory only if Connection Mode is set to Professional. Enter the JDBC connection string of the GaussDB 100 database, in the format of jdbc:postgresql://host:port/dbname. host indicates the IP address for connecting to the database. port indicates the port of the database. dbname indicates the name of the GaussDB 100 database to be connected.
   Username	Enter the username used for logging in to the database.
   Password	Enter the password used for logging in to the database.

   The connection configuration of the GaussDB 100 data source is similar to that of the MySQL data source. For details, see Connecting to a MySQL Data Source.

5. Click Check Connectivity to check the connectivity between ROMA Connect and the data source.
   • If the test result is Data source connected successfully, go to the next step.
   • If the test result is Failed to connect to the data source, check the data source status and connection parameters, and click Recheck until the connection is successful.
6. Click Create.
