In a Database profile configuration, you can create database profiles for use in various agents, profiles and APL functions. These include:

What a profile can be used for depends on the selected database type. The supported usage for each database type is described in the section below, Database Types.

The Database profile is loaded when you start a workflow that depends on it. Changes to the profile become effective when you restart the workflow.

Configuration

To create a new Database profile configuration, click the New Configuration button in the upper left part of the Desktop window, and then select Database Profile from the menu.

The contents of the menus in the menu bar may change depending on which configuration type that has been opened in the currently active tab. The Database profile uses the standard menu items and buttons that are visible for all configurations, and these are described in 2.1 Menus and Buttons.

There is one menu item that is specific for Database configurations:

Item	Description
External References	Select this menu item to Enable External References in an agent profile field. Refer to Enabling External References in an Agent Profile Field in 8.11 External Reference Profile for further information.

The Database profile has two tabs; General and Properties.

The General Tab

In the General tab, the two radio buttons Default Connection Setup and Advanced Connection Setup make it possible to display different connection options.

Default Connection Setup

Select the Default Connection Setup radio button to use a preconfigured connection string.

The Database profile configuration - General tab

Setting	Description
Default Connection Setup	Select this option to configure a default connection.
Advanced Connection Setup	Select this option to configure the data source connection using a connection string. For further information, see the section below, Advanced Connection Setup.
Database Type	Select any of the available database types. You may need to perform some preparations before attempting to connect to the database for the first time. For information about required preparations, see the section below, Database Types.
Database Name	Enter a name that identifies the database instance. For example, when you configure the profile for an Oracle database, this field should contain the SID.
Database Host	Enter the host name or IP address of the host on which the database is running. Type it exactly as when accessing it from any other application within the network.
Port Number	Enter the database network port.
Username	Enter the database user name.
Password	Enter the database password.
Enable TLS Truststore	Enable TLS/SSL for connection to a SAP HANA Database. This option will be enabled by default. This option applies only for SAP HANA and will only be visible when SAP HANA is selected as the Database Type. For information about advanced connection for SAP HANA with TLS/SSL enabled, you an refer to 8.6.9 SAP HANA. Note! If the TLS Truststore is configured for SAP HANA default connection setup, the following SAP HANA JDBC connection string properties will be added as well: encrypt=true hostNameInCertificate=* For information about SAP HANA connection string properties, you can refer to the SAP HANA documentation at the SAP Help Portal.
TLS Truststore	Enter the path and filename to the TLS/SSL trust store file that contains the SAP HANA hosting server's certificate. This option applies only for SAP HANA and will only be visible when SAP HANA is selected as the Database Type.
TLS Truststore Password	Enter the password for the TLS/SSL trust store file. This option applies only for SAP HANA and will only be visible when SAP HANA is selected as the Database Type.
Try Connection	Click to try the connection to the database, using the configured values.

Advanced Connection Setup

The Advanced Connection Setup enables you to specify a customized connection string. It can be used for Oracle RAC and Snowflake connections, or when you need to add additional properties to a connection . For more information, see the relevant subsections.

Database profile configuration - Advanced Connection Setup

Setting	Description
Default Connection Setup	Select to configure a default connection. For further information, see the section above, Default Connection Setup.
Advanced Connection Setup	Select to configure the data source connection using a connection string.
Database Type	Select any of the available database types. You may need to perform some preparations before attempting to connect to the database for the first time. For information about required preparations, see the section below, Database Types.
Connection String	Enter a connection string containing information about the database and the means of connecting to it.
Notification Service	This field is used when the selected Database Type is Oracle. For more information, see 8.6.6 Oracle.
Username	Enter the database user name.
Password	Enter the database password.
Try Connection	Click to try the connection to the database, using the configured values.

The Properties Tab

The Properties tab allows you to configure additional properties for certain database types.

The Database profile configuration - Properties tab

Currently the following properties can be configured:

Database Type	Properties
CSV	All properties described on the page http://csvjdbc.sourceforge.net/doc.html in the section section "Driver Properties" can be used.
MySQL	`mysql.connectionpool.maxlimit`
Oracle	`oracle.pool.connectionwaittimeout` `oracle.pool.inactivitytimeout` `oracle.pool.maxlimit` `oracle.pool.minlimit` `oracle.pool.propertycheckinterval` `oracle.pool.refreshonsqlerror` `oracle.net.encryption_client` `oracle.net.encryption_types_client` `oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client` `oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client`
PostgreSQL	`postgresql.connectionpool.maxlimit escapeSyntaxCallMode` Note! From PostgreSQL 11 onwards, there is support for stored PROCEDURE, prior versions of PostgreSQL supports only the stored FUNCTION. Hence, a new connection property called "escapeSyntaxCallMode" has been introduced by PostgreSQL for users to configure. This property specifies how the driver transforms JDBC escape call syntax into underlying SQL, for invoking procedures or functions. In escapeSyntaxCallMode=select (the PostgreSQL default) mode , the driver always uses a SELECT statement (allowing function invocation only). In escapeSyntaxCallMode=callIfNoReturn mode, the driver uses a CALL statement (allowing procedure invocation) if there is no return parameter specified. Otherwise the driver uses a SELECT statement. In escapeSyntaxCallMode=call mode, the driver always uses a CALL statement (allowing procedure invocation only) In case you are using Callable Statements with PostgreSQL, you can configure the “escapeSyntaxCallMode” connection property in the Database Profile. However, If this property is not configured in the Database Profile, it will be using the default escapeSyntaxCallMode=select. If you're utilizing Callable Statements with PostgreSQL, you have the option to set the "escapeSyntaxCallMode" property either within the Connection String parameters or within the Properties tab of the Database Profile. Should you choose to configure this property in both locations, priority will be given to the setting within the Connection String.
SAP HANA	`sapdb.connectionpool.maxlimit`

Note!

If you have configured any of these properties using topo or the Connection String field when making an Advanced Connection Setup, the properties configured in the Properties tab will override these.
