DatePrefix Prefix to the start date and end date parameters in query
templates used to format the date to match the database
configuration.

If you are connecting to a Microsoft SQL server database,

the typical prefix is a single quote. If you are connecting to
an Oracle database, an example of a prefix is
GetDate('.

DateSuffix Suffix to the start date and end date parameters in query
templates used to format the date to match the database
configuration.

If you are connecting to a Microsoft SQL server database,

the typical suffix is a single quote. If you are connecting to
an Oracle database, an example of a suffix is ','MM/DD/
YYYY HH24:MI:SS').

InitCommand Command used by the database connector that is run

when a connection pool is created.

You can use it to set the database locale in Oracle.

InternalDateFormat Date format used to construct WHERE clause conditions.

Controls the construction of the WHERE clause for date
comparisons for specific databases and servers.

JDBCDriver Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver classpath used

to connect to the server.

Password Password to connect to the database.

The password field shows six asterisks even if your pass­

word has more or less characters or is blank.

Passwords are not passed between browser clients and

the database. The Servers.xml file is not accessible
through the Web server.

PoolMax Maximum number of connections the pool allocates.

If a request is received and all connections are in use and

allocated, the query waits for an available connection or
the specified timeout period.

PoolSize Number of connections to be established with the data­

base when the connection pool is initialized.

SAP MII - Configuration Guide

20 PUBLIC Configuring SAP MII Dataservers
 Parameter Description

ServerURL Driver-specific string that defines how to access the data­

base.

For example, with the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 JDBC

driver, the ServerURL is: jdbc:inetdae://
hammer9:1433?
database=MyDatabase&sql7=true. The SQL
server on machine hammer9 is connected to the
MyDatabase database using TCP/IP port 1433.

For additional URL parameters, see the documentation

from the vendor of the JDBC driver you are using.

TimeOut Length of time (in minutes) that elapses before an unused

connection expires and its resources are released back to
the server. The connection pool maintains a minimum
number of connections and, if necessary, creates a new
connection.

UseCount Number of times a connection can be used before it is ter­

minated and its resources are released back to the server.

This parameter is only required for ODBC data sources

that have resource leaks when they execute many state­
ments.

User Name Database-specific user ID.

ValidationQuery Query used to determine if a database connection is valid.

For example, when using Microsoft SQL Server, you can

use SELECT GETDATE() or SELECT * FROM
Orders WHERE OrderId=-1.

The query does not have to return rows, but it must suc­
ceed.

WaitTime Amount of time SAP MII waits for a connection before it

fails.

Experimental features are not part of the officially delivered scope that SAP guarantees for future releases. This means that experimental features may be changed by
SAP at any time for any reason without notice. Experimental features are not for productive use. You may not demonstrate, test, examine, evaluate or otherwise use
the experimental features in a live operating environment or with data that has not been sufficiently backed up.
The purpose of experimental features is to get feedback early on, allowing customers and partners to influence the future product accordingly. By providing your
feedback (e.g. in the SAP Community), you accept that intellectual property rights of the contributions or derivative works shall remain the exclusive property of SAP.

Example Code
Any software coding and/or code snippets are examples. They are not for productive use. The example code is only intended to better explain and visualize the syntax
and phrasing rules. SAP does not warrant the correctness and completeness of the example code. SAP shall not be liable for errors or damages caused by the use of
example code unless damages have been caused by SAP's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Gender-Related Language
We try not to use gender-specific word forms and formulations. As appropriate for context and readability, SAP may use masculine word forms to refer to all genders.
