Procedure: How to Configure an Adapter

  1. From the Web Console sidebar, click Connect to Data.

    In the DMC, the Adapters folder opens. In the Web Console, the Adapters page opens showing your configured adapters.

  2. In the Web Console, click the New Datasource button on the menu bar and find the adapter on the page or, in the DMC, expand the Available folder if it is not already expanded.
    On the Web Console, you can select a category of adapter from the drop-down list or use the search option (magnifying glass) to search for specific characters.
  3. In the DMC, expand the appropriate group folder and the specific adapter folder. The group folder is described in the connection attributes reference.
  4. Right-click the adapter name and/or version and select Configure.

    The Add Adapter to Configuration pane opens.

  5. Enter values for the parameters required by the adapter, as described in the chapter for the specific adapter you want to configure.
  6. Click Configure. The configured adapter is added to the Adapters list in the DMC resources tree or the Configured list in the Web Console.
    In the Web Console, the adapter remains on the Available Adapters list with an asterisk to indicate that at least one connection has been configured. You can configure additional connections from either the Configured or Available list by right-clicking the adapter and clicking Add Connection.

jdbc:awsathena://connection_URL:?s3_staging_directory

where:

connection_URL

Is the connection URL obtained by your Amazon Athena administrator.

IBI_CLASSPATH

Defines the additional Java Class directories or full-path jar names which will be available for Java Services. Value may be set by editing the communications file or in the Web Console. Using the Web Console, you can enter one reference per line in the input field. When the file is saved, the entries are converted to a single string using colon (:) delimiters for all platforms. OpenVMS platforms must use UNIX-style conventions for values (for example, /mydisk/myhome/myclasses.jar, rather than mydisk:[myhome]myclasses.jar) when setting values. When editing the file manually, you must maintain the colon delimiter.

Enter the full path to the Athena driver jars, as determined in Preparing the Amazon Athena Environment.
