Creating a data connection object

You create a data connection object so you can use them together with related connector stages to define a connection to a data source in a job design.

There are three ways of creating a data connection object:

• Create the data connection object manually by entering details directly into IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage®.
• Create the data connection object by saving the connection details you use when importing metadata from a data source.
• Create the data connection object by saving the connection details you have defined when using a connector stage in a job design.
