Property type

Either Built-in or
Repository.

Built-in: No property data stored
centrally.

Repository: Select the repository file
in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are completed
automatically using the data retrieved.

DB Version

Select the AS/400 version in use

Host

Database server IP address

Database

Name of the database

Username and Password

DB user authentication data.

To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes
and click OK to save the settings.

Use or register a shared DB Connection

Select this check box to share your
database connection or fetch a database connection shared by a parent or child Job,
and in the Shared DB Connection Name field displayed, enter the
name for the shared database connection. This allows you to share one single database
connection (except the database schema setting) among several database connection
components from different Job levels that can be either parent or child.

This option is
incompatible with the Use dynamic job and Use an
independent process to run subjob options of the
tRunJob component. Using a shared connection together with a
tRunJob component with either of these two options enabled
will cause your Job to fail.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you are
creating. This option is not available if you have selected the
Use an existing connection check
box in the Basic settings.

Auto Commit

Select this check box to commit any changes to the database automatically upon
the transaction.

With this check box selected, you cannot use the corresponding commit component
to commit changes to the database; likewise, when using the corresponding commit
component, this check box has to be cleared. By default, the auto commit function is
disabled and changes must be committed explicitly using the corresponding commit
component.

Note that the auto commit function commits each SQL statement as a single
transaction immediately after the statement is executed while the commit component does
not commit only until all of the statements are executed. For this reason, if you need
more room to manage your transactions in a Job, it is recommended to use the commit
component.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the job processing metadata at a Job
level as well as at each component level.

Usage rule

This component is more commonly used with other tAS400* components,
especially with the tAS400Commit and
tAS400Rollback components.
