Using a different Oracle schema with OpenIDM’s Scripted SQL Connector

Here is a quick note to help you correctly configure the Scripted SQL Connector when working with different schemas in an Oracle Database.  By default the connector assumes that you are querying the default schema, which can be problematic if you happen to be using a different schema (user).

The default connector file will look something like this:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "host" : "localhost",
    "port" : "3306",
    ...
    "database" : "HRDB",
    "autoCommit" : false,
    "reloadScriptOnExecution" : true,
    "createScriptFileName" : "&{launcher.project.location}/tools/CreateScript.groovy",

To query a different schema you can add the attribute “defaultCatalog” to the configurationProperties.  So, if for example your database schema is “myschema” you can add “defaultCatalog” : “myschema”, as shown below:

"configurationProperties" : {
    "host" : "localhost",
    "port" : "3306",
    ...
    "database" : "HRDB",
    "defaultCatalog" : "myschema".
    "autoCommit" : false,

Once you save the connector you should be able to query the correct schema.
