Configure Database Connections for the Repository Adapter
The Repository Adapter requires connections to the vCenter Operations Manager relational database, the
FSDB, and the output database. You configure this information in the conf.properties file.
When you type user names and passwords for the database connections, type them in plain text and verify
that the encrypted property is set to false. When the Repository Adapter runs, it encrypts the values and sets
encrypted to true. If you need to change the values, type them in plain text and set encrypted to false.
Prerequisites
Become familiar with the conf.properties file. See “conf.properties File,” on page 137.
Procedure
1 Open the conf.properties file in the
vcenter-ops \tools\RepositoryAdapter directory.
2 Define the vCenter Operations Manager relational database.
Option Action
Define an SQL Server database
Set the database driver name, URL, database name, and the user name and
password to use to connect to the database.
Define an Oracle database
Set the database driver name. Do not include a database name.
The following example is an SQL Server database definition.
#source DB
sourcedbDriver=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
sourcedbUrl=jdbc\:sqlserver\://192.168.1.130\:1433
sourcedbName=sa
sourcedbUserName=testSourceDB
sourcedbPassword=111
The following example is the format of an Oracle database definition.
#source DB properties for Oracle
sorucedbDriver = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
sourcedbUrl = jdbc:oracle:thin:@ server : port :orcl
sourcedbName =
sourcedbUserName = username
sourcedbPassword = password
3 Set the sourcefsdbUrl property to the URL for your vCenter Operations Manager FSDB installation.
Do not change the sourcefsdbDriver property.
For example:
#source FSDB
sourcefsdbDriver=com.integrien.fsdbjdbcdriver.FSDBJDBCDriver
sourcefsdbUrl=rmi\://192.168.1.130\:1199/DBMS
