Checking the database connection details

All data related to project information and administration: administration data, user declaration and authorization, task list, trigger list, etc. are stored in a database.

By default, this database is an H2 embedded database. The embedded H2 database is not recommended for production environments. You can choose to store those data in another compatible database system (MySQL, MS SQL and Oracle).

About this task

From Talend Administration Center, you can display the database connection settings and status. To do so, complete the following:

Procedure

  1. On the Menu, click Configuration click the Database group to display the parameters.
    The following parameters are read only:

    Parameter

    Value

    URL

    URL of the database in which all Talend Administration Center information is stored.

    User

    Name of the administrator of the database.

    Driver

    Driver of the Talend Administration Center database.

    Web Console

    URL of the H2 Web console. It is only displayed upon authentication of the database administrator:

    • either on the database configuration page:
    • or in Talend Administration Center H2 Web console configuration (Settings > Configuration > Database).
    Information noteNote: This field does not display if you choose to store the data in another database system than the default H2 one.
  2. If you want to access the projects and administration data via the default Web console provided, click the URL of the Web Console field.
    The following login page opens:

    Example

  3. In the Password field of the Configuration > Database menu, type in the connection password to the database, by default tisadmin.
    Information noteWarning: It is not recommended to change this parameter in the configuration.properties file, especially if the password contains special characters. You must change it through Configuration > Password field.
  4. Click Connect.
    A Web database administration page opens.
    Information noteImportant: If the embedded H2 database still uses the default credentials tisadmin/tisadmin, the application prompts you to change the database password during the database configuration flow after a successful connection check. The new password must contain at least 10 characters, must not be tisadmin, and must be confirmed.
    If you choose another database system and find out that one of the parameters is wrongly set, you have to click the link Go to db config page from the Login page to access the Database configuration page that gives both database connection status and settings. This page is protected by a password, therefore you can click Cancel if you do not have this administrator password and want to go back to the Login page. To access the Database configuration after is has been finalized, you must edit the configuration.properties file. For instructions, see Updating parameters after the configuration is finalized.
    For more information about logging in to Talend Administration Center, see Accessing Talend Administration Center.
    Information noteTip: If the Go to db config page link on the Login page is hidden, you need to activate it from the configuration.properties file. For more information, see Updating parameters after the configuration is finalized. Moreover, you can modify database connection information directly from the configuration.properties file.
