How do I establish a connection to dashDB from IDA? - ibm-cloud

I'm trying to generate a physical data model on Bluemix using InfoSphere Data Architect running on my local machine. I have a dashDB service up and running and know all the connection settings. I can't seem to set up a connection from IDA to my dashDB instance and am looking for guidance.

From a dashDB perspective here all the details one would need to know on how to connect with dashDB. I will leave the IDA side of things for someone else to answer.
Connecting applications to the dashDB database

While researching something else I came across this basic guide. Not sure if this will help. Connecting InfoSphere Data Architect to dashDB

How to read oracle db over vpn from azure databricks?

When I try to read a oracle table via azure databricks(I connect to vpn for accessing this db) , it shows below error
Java. Sql. Sqlrecoverableexception : IO Error : The network adapter could not establish the connection..
Do I need to specify the VPN details in databricks?
Even if you connected to VPN, the Databricks cluster that is running in the cloud couldn't reach your on-premise Oracle installation. To achieve that you need to work with your networking team on setting VPN connection between on-premise & cloud. It's described in the documentation in great details, so it doesn't make sense to repeat it here.
Hostnames which are being used in the Databricks clusters should be enabled to access on-prem resources through Endpoint Services.You can ref : link

Failed to connect with mysql using google data fusion

I failed to connect to MySQL from google data fusion
the step:
First, I add the connector
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=462850
Second, I try to add a connection (failed)
screenshot of the MySQL:
Communications link failure The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.
**** Edit **** I think this is associated with allowing data fusion to access to our production data
my second question is:
How can I know what is the Google Data Fusion IP address?
if someone can help me that will be wonderful
thank you
This error indicates that Cloud Data Fusion is unable to connect to mysql via JDBC with the given credentials (Host/port/User). You will need to ensure that the user provided can connect from any host. To trouble shoot this further, please do the following:
SSH to the mysql box and run netstat -tln and confirm if the port where mysql is running on is 3306
Login to mysql using Mysql CLI or a workbench tool and run the following
SHOW DATABASES to list all the Databases in mysql and see if the one you are accessing is present
Ensure that the user that is accessing mysql from Data Fusion can access from any hosts by running SHOW GRANTS FOR 'username'#'%'
Here are some additional articles that might help with troubleshooting. https://serverfault.com/questions/89955/unable-to-connect-to-mysql-through-jdbc-connector-through-tomcat-or-externally
Even if you try to access via public IP it'll not work. I had the same issue. Because you have to enable VPC peering between the Datafusion tenant project id with your VPC.

Google Cloud Data Fusion 1. Does not connect to oracle 2. When the pipeline is running I get 'default' network port error

I installed oracle-jdbc thin driver to connect with On prem oracle DB but when I test the connection I get network adapter error
I tried the changing the host but still same
When running the pipeline from GCS-BQ I getting network port error. Can we change the VPC the pipeline is running on ?
Regarding the oracle db connection error, is the db available on the public network for connection? Currently wrangler service in Cloud Data Fusion cannot talk to the on-prem db over a private connection and we are actively working towards it.
However if the db is available on the public network then it seems like the issue with the oracle db configurations. Can you please take a look at this answer and see if it helps - Oracle SQL Developer: Failure - Test failed: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection?
Also are you able to connect to the oracle db through some other query tool such as SqlWorkbench?
Breaking down your question:
1. Connecting to on-prem databases
It is possible nowadays to connect to on-premise databases. Make sure you created an interconnect between the on-prem network and the network used by Data Fusion instance and make sure you applied the right firewall rules (seems you are getting firewall issues by the logs). I suggest trying to connect directly in the database first to confirm that the network setup works.
2. Change network configurations on the Data Fusion job.
You can specify parameters for your job. There are options to change the network and subnetwork that the job will be executed under Configure > Compute config > Customize option. If you use shared VPC you can also specify the Host project.

How to setup postgresql replication when installed on windows server 2016 servers

I realize this is a basic question, and not very specific, but I don't know where to go for this. I am being asked to deploy two web servers onto windows server 2016 onto two hosts for load balancing. The database backend for the two web servers is PostgreSQL with POSTGIS.
I know how to install PostgresSQL.
I also know how to get them going for each host and attach them to their respective web servers.
What I don't know how to do is set them up for multi-master replication. On windows. All solutions I have found so far are Linux-based.
I'm looking for options and ideas.
Thank you.
I've personally never setup replication in a windows environment, working with PostgreSQL you're almost guaranteed some form of Linux environment. That being said, I did find a blog that details how to setup replication between windows servers (read-only secondary). This may not be a full solution for you but hopefully it will help.

500 Error: Failed to establish a backside connection on bluemix java liberty app

I deployed my java web application on Bluemix Dedicated environment and use it with Cloudant Dedicated NoSql DB. In this DB i tried to return 60k documents and server returned
500 Error: Failed to establish a backside connection
to me. So i'm wondering about connection timeout in Bluemix, there're posts where people claim that Bluemix resets a network connection in 120 if there's no response received. Is it possible to change this setting, or maybe someone knows how to solve such problem.
P.S. When I deploy it on my computer then it works fine, but of course it takes some time. Particularly this case may be solved using cloudant pagination, but i develop service for scheduling REST-calls and if bluemix reset all connections after 2 minutes i'll have a big problems with it.
Not sure which Bluemix Dedicated you are using, but the timeout is typically global. Paging would work and I thinking a websocket based approach would work as well.
