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
- 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.)
- 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" - 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.
