Connect to Oracle SCM Data and Transfer Data in Talend

This article shows how you can easily integrate the CData JDBC driver for Oracle SCM into your workflow in Talend. This article uses the CData JDBC Driver for Oracle SCM to transfer Oracle SCM data in a job flow in Talend.

Connect to Oracle SCM in Talend as a JDBC Data Source

You can follow the procedure below to establish a JDBC connection to Oracle SCM:

1. Add a new database connection to Oracle SCM data: To add a new connection, expand the Metadata node, right-click the Db Connections node, and then click Create Connection.
2. In the resulting wizard, enter a name for the connection.

3. On the next page, select Generic JDBC from the DB Type menu and enter the JDBC URL.

   The following connection properties are required to connect to Oracle SCM data.

   • User: The username of your Oracle Cloud service account.
   • Password: The password of your Oracle Cloud service account.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Oracle SCM JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.oraclescm.jar

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   A typical JDBC URL is below:

   jdbc:oraclescm:Url=https://myinstance.oraclecloud.com;User=user;Password=password;
4. Enter the path to the cdata.jdbc.oraclescm.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. Right-click the connection and then click Retrieve Schema.
6. Click Next with the default options to select the tables you want to import.
7. Finish the wizard with the default options.

Output the Carriers Table to a Flat File

2. In the dialog that is displayed, select the tJDBCInput component.
3. Next, drag a tFileOutputDelimited component from the Business Intelligence tab of the Palette into the workspace.
4. Right-click the Carriers tJDBCInput component and drag a vector to the output file.
