Procedure
1 Open the conf.properties file in a text editor.
The conf.properties file is in the vcenter-ops\tools\RepositoryAdapter\conf directory. In a vApp
installation, edit the conf.properties file on the Analytics virtual machine.
2 Use the sourcedb properties to define the connection to the source database.
The following example is an SQL Server source database definition.
sourcedbDriver = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
sourcedbUrl = jdbc:sqlserver://host:port
sourcedbName = databasename
sourcedbUserName = username
sourcedbPassword = password
The following example is an Oracle source database definition.
sourcedbDriver = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
sourcedbUrl = jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid
sourcedbUserName = username
sourcedbPassword = password
The following example is a Postgres source database definition.
sourcedbDriver = org.postgresql.Driver
sourcedbUrl = jdbc:postgresql://host:port
sourcedbName = alivevm
sourcedbUserName = username
sourcedbPassword = password
3 Verify that the encrypted property is set to false.
When the Repository adapter runs, it encrypts the sourcedbName and sourcedbUserName values and sets
the encrypted property to true.
IMPORTANT If you set the encrypted property to true before the Repository adapter runs for the first
time, the adapter fails because vCenter Operations Manager expects the credentials to be in an
encrypted state. If you need to change the user name and password values, type them in plain text and
set encrypted to false.
4 Save your changes and close the conf.properties file.
Configure the Output Destination for the Repository Adapter
You must configure a connection to an output destination for the Repository adapter. The output
destination can be a relational database or a CSV file.
