Signon Parameters

The following table shows signon parameters in the dbutility configuration file ( dbridge.cfg) and their equivalent command-line options.

Configuration file parameter	Command-line option	Description
user	-U	Specifies the user ID for the relational database. The user ID must have read and write access to the designated database.
password	-P	Specifies the password associated with the user ID for the relational database. Note that Oracle 11g and later uses case-sensitive passwords. Configuration file only: If the password contains non-alphanumeric characters besides the underscore (_), you must enclose it in double quotation marks, as follows: password = "a$bb%"
database	-D	For Oracle, this name identifies the Oracle instance or Net8 service being accessed. If the service name contains non-alphanumeric characters, you must enclose them in double quotation marks, as follows: database = "orcl.databridge.com"
datasource	-O	For the Databridge SQL Server client, this parameter is the name that identifies the ODBC data source, as configured within the Windows Control Panel.
use_nt_authen	-W	When the ODBC data source uses Integrated Windows authentication, set this parameter to True. When the ODBC data source uses SQL Server Authentication (using userid and password), set it to False. If you set this parameter incorrectly, the client will work, but bulk loader operations will fail.
