You can configure your Perspectium DataSync Agent to share data from ServiceNow or Salesforce to an IBM DB2 database by changing some additional configurations in your agent.xml file

Prerequisites


(warning) First, you will need to install a DataSync Agent Agent.

(warning) You will also need to create a ServiceNow dynamic share/bulk share or create a Salesforce dynamic share/bulk share.

(warning) Make sure to stop running your DataSync Agent before making any Agent configuration changes.

Procedure

To set up your DataSync Agent to share application data to an IBM DB2 database, follow these steps:


UI Steps


UI Step

Install and configure your DataSync Agent

Follow the steps to install the DataSync Agent for ServiceNow or the DataSync for Salesforce Agent and make sure that your agent.xml file is configured correctly.

UI Step

Access your agent.xml configuration file

Navigate to the directory where you saved your agent.xml file when installing your DataSync Agent.


UI Step

Update database directives to point to DB2

Open your agent.xml file in a text editing application. Then, locate the <task> directive(s) within your <subscribe> directive, and update the following database-related directives:

DirectiveValue to enter
<database_type>db2
<database_server>

URL/IP address for your DB2 database. If your database is installed on your local machine, set this value to localhost.

<database_port>Port number for your DB2 database
<database_user>Username used to access your DB2 database
<database_password>Password used to access your DB2 database
<database_parms>characterEncoding=UTF-8

Your agent.xml file should look similar to the example shown below:

Code Block
languagexml
themeEclipse
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
<config>
    <agent>
       	<share>
     	</share>  
     	<subscribe>
     	<task>
            <task_name>test_db2_subscribe</task_name>
            <message_connection password="encrypted:vlOtU71yu8N/EFIJH85SSBtaIt7qEEfvqiqft9VZyYE=" user="exampleuser">amqps://example.perspectium.net</message_connection>
            <instance_connection password="encrypted:vlOtU71yu8N/EFIJH85SSBtaIt7qEEfvqiqft9VZyYE=" user="example.user">https://myinstance.service-now.com</instance_connection>
            <handler>com.perspectium.replicator.sql.SQLSubscriber</handler>
            <decryption_key>The cow jumped over the moon</decryption_key>
            <database_type>db2</database_type>
            <database_server>localhost</database_server>
            <database_port>50000</database_port>
            <database_user>exampleuser</database_user>
            <database_password>examplepassword</database_password>
            <database_params>characterEncodingparms>characterEncoding=UTF-8</database_params>parms>
            <database>SAMPLE</database>
         </task>
      </subscribe>
      <max_reads_per_connect>4000</max_reads_per_connect>
      <polling_interval>30</polling_interval>
   </agent>
</config>



UI Step
