Running the SQL Sample Workflows
You can run the SQL plug-in workflows to perform JDBC operations such as generating a JDBC URL,
testing a JDBC connection, and managing rows in JDBC tables. You can also run the SQL plug-in workflows
to manage databases and database tables, as well as to run SQL operations.
Generate a JDBC URL
You can run a workflow from the Orchestrator client to generate a JDBC connection URL.
Prerequisites
Log in to the Orchestrator client as a user who can run JDBC workflows.
Procedure
1 Click the Workflows view in the Orchestrator client.
2 In the workflows hierarchical list, open Library > JDBC to navigate to the JDBC URL generator
workflow.
3 Right-click the JDBC URL generator workflow and select Start workflow.
4 Select the type of database for which to generate a URL.
NOTE If you use a Microsoft database, you might have to click Next and to provide the database
instance name and database user domain name.
5 Provide the required information to generate a database URL.
a Type a database server name or IP address.
b Type a database name.
c (Optional) Type a database port number.
If you do not specify a port number, the workflow uses a default port number.
d Type a user name to access the database.
e Type a password to access the database.
6 Click Submit to run the workflow.
Test a JDBC Connection
You can run a workflow from the Orchestrator client to test the connection to a database.
Prerequisites
Log in to the Orchestrator client as a user who can run JDBC workflows.
Procedure
1 Click the Workflows view in the Orchestrator client.
2 In the workflows hierarchical list, open Library > JDBC > JDBC Examples to navigate to the JDBC
connection example workflow.
3 Right-click the JDBC connection example workflow and select Start workflow.
