tAS400Connection component lacking USE_SHARED_CONNECTION parameter

[Maz2]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to use the AS400 shared connection but the component is lacking that option. Talend allows me to use the shared connection option (by providing the connection through Karaf, for example) for other DB types like PostgreSQL.

I went one step ahead and made changes to the component by editing the tAS400Connection_java.xml file and manually adding both parameters (USE_SHARED_CONNECTION and SHARED_CONNECTION_NAME).

It works just fine as long as I setup the AS400 datasource on Karaf. I still plan to do more testing but so far so good.

Is there a reason why this option is not readily available for the tAS400Connection?

Hi,

    I would suggest you to create a JIRA ticket for the same.

https://jira.talendforge.org

    If you are using an Enterprise version of Talend, I would recommend you to get the changes ratified by the Product team as custom component maintenance will have to be handled by original developer.
