Adding an Actian DataConnect Connection

Prerequisites​

  • Scanner Version 76 or higher is required to use DataConnect Connector.
  • Java 11 is required to run and build the DataConnect Connector.
  • It is assumed that the Zeenea Scanner has been successfully downloaded and configured. See Zeenea Scanner Setup.

Creating the Configuration File​

  1. In the [scanner_install_dir]/connections folder, create a new file named dcconnector.conf. (The file can be named as desired, but the file extension must be .conf.)

  2. Copy and modify the content below based on your environment configuration:

    # code and name can be anything
    code = "actian-dataconnect-connector-id"
    name = "actian-dataconnect-connector-name"

    # Connector ID (do not change)
    connector_id = "actian-dataconnect"
    enabled = true

    # directories to be scanned (comma separated)
    scan_directories = "/path/to/maps/one,/path/to/maps/two"

  3. List one of more directories you want scanned in the scan_directories property. It is comma-separated. The connector will only focus on .map and .map.rtc files. Other files and folders will be ignored.
