Data Type Mapping Set
XML files have been created to store mappings from one set of data types to another. Setting this field to "(Default)" will cause Data Warehouse Designer to automatically select the relevant mapping set; otherwise you can choose one of the standard mapping sets from the drop down list or create a new one.
Once the connection has been set up, you can right mouse click the connection in the middle pane and view the properties for that connection.
UNIX
Note: UNIX connections are only supported from Oracle and DB2 data warehouses.
This section describes connections to UNIX. Tutorial 1 gives basic instructions for creating a connection. This topic describes in greater detail the connection properties as they apply to UNIX connections.
From a UNIX connection you can only do flat file loads.
TIP: If the connection type is Linux then the connection name must contain the word
Linux. This forces QAD Data Warehouse Designer to use /bin/sh shell instead of /bin/ksh shell.
