You need to specify the source, mirror, and target database.

These steps are part of the larger task of creating a JDBC or Upload subscription. When you complete the steps for mapping the source to the target, return to Creating a JDBC subscription or Creating an Upload subscription.

To specify the source database driver and URL:

On the Source page of the notebook, provide the following information:

Database URL
Type the Database URL. The correct form for the driver selected in the Driver field is shown. Replace the variables in braces with the information to connect to the database. For example, the default Database URL for IBM DB2 UDB local is jdbc:db2:{database}. Replace {database} with the name of the DB2 database that you plan to use.

Driver
Use this field to select the database driver to use with this subscription.

User ID
Type a valid source database user ID. Ensure this ID has, at a minimum, the SQL privileges that you granted for the subscriptions defined against the database. For example, if you granted the SQL UPDATE privilege in the subscription, the user ID must have UPDATE privileges defined for the source database.

Password
A valid source database password for the user ID.

Verify Password
Use this field to type the password again exactly as you typed it in the Password field.
