OpenText Core Analytics Database Settings Overview

You can configure the default database configuration settings in OpenText™ Core Analytics Database (OTCAD).

1. Log in to OTCAD.
2. Select Settings from More options. The Settings Overview page opens. In this page, you can configure the following OTCAD settings:
   • Connection data: You can configure the default connection data settings in OTCAD.
   • CIDR: CIDR is fundamental to subnetting, the process of dividing a large network into smaller, more manageable subnetworks. By using different prefix lengths, you can create subnets with varying numbers of host addresses, enabling efficient use of IP address space.
   • Scaling: Database scaling is the ability of a database to obtain or reduce resources depending on the system's load, establishing a direct correlation between the allocation of resources and their demand. Scaling ensures consistency in the database server quality while maximizing resource usage.
3. Select Connection Data.
4. Copy this information to connect your database with other applications or clients:
   • Host DNS: The DNS host provides the authoritative nameservers that answer or resolve queries for your website. This is how your site is found on the web.
   • Host Port: The host port is a network port on a computer or device that is used to establish a connection with another device or service, often for communication or data transfer.
   • Database Name: The unique name of the database.
   • Refresh Token: The refresh token is a special type of token used in authentication flows, particularly in OAuth 2.0, to obtain new access tokens when the current ones expire.
   • Access Token: An access token is a security credential that allows an application or user to access protected resources on a server. It acts as a digital key, verifying the user's or application's identity and authorization level, and is used to grant access without requiring the user to repeatedly provide their credentials.
5. Select Close to close the Connection Details page.
