Find here general information that is valid for all connections.

Connections are a collection of data from different sources such as various types of files and databases. 

See Types of Data Supported for information about the types of data you can use with Datameer.

Once you create the connection, you can import data into it. See Importing Data to learn more.  

The 'Connection Details' page provides information of:

• Connection name: e.g. 'Connection Tableau'
• Description: if you inserted a description during the first configuration
• Datastore usage: e.g. 'IMPORT_EXPORT'
• Authentication Mode: e.g. 'TEMPORARY'
• Url or Uri: connection URL, e.g. 'jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dap?tinyInt1isBit=false'
• Transfer Protocol: e.g. 'Datameer X server filesystem'
• userName: user name for authentication
• password: password for authentication
• Connection type: e.g. 'Database'
• driverClassName: name of the driver e.g. 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
• Owner: e.g. 'admin'
• shared with: the group with the needed right to view, edit or run a connection and your personal user rights, e.g. 'You are allowed to view and edit.'

INFO: Not all entries are available for all connections.

INFO: For connections where authentication options are available (JDBC, SSH and SFTP connections), the valid one out of the two authentication modes is displayed: 'TEMPORARY' or 'PROVIDED'. For JDBC/ MySQL connections, the valid one out of three authentication modes is displayed: 'TEMPORARY', 'PROVIDED' or 'SESSION_BASED'. 'SESSION_BASED' is only displayed when the flag '-Denable.authenticationOnJobRun=true' is set.
