Use Campaign Federated Data Access (FDA) option to process information stored in an external databases. Follow the steps below to configure access to Netezza.

  1. Install and configure Netezza drivers
  2. Configure the Netezza external account in Campaign

Netezza configuration netezza-config

Connecting to a Netezza external database in FDA requires additional configurations below on the Adobe Campaign server:

  1. Install the ODBC drivers for Netezza, according to the operating system that you use:

    • nz-linuxclient-v7.2.0.0.tar.gz for Linux. Select the folder that corresponds to your operating system (linux or linux64) and start the unpack command. You can leave the installation to be carried out in the repository that is suggested by default: “/usr/local/nz”.
    • nz-winclient-v7.2.0.0.zip for Windows. Unzip the file and start the executable script that corresponds to your operating system: nzodbcsetup.exe or nzodbcsetup64.exe. Follow the assistant instructions to finish installing the drivers.

  2. Configure the ODBC driver. The configuration can be carried out in the standard files: /etc/odbc.ini for general parameters and /etc/odbcinst.ini for declaring drivers.

    • /etc/odbc.ini

      code language-none 
      [ODBC]
InstallDir=/etc/

      “InstallDir” corresponds to the location of the odbcinst.ini file.

    • /etc/odbcinst.ini

      code language-none 
      [ODBC Drivers]
NetezzaSQL = Installed

[NetezzaSQL]
Driver           = /usr/local/nz/lib/libnzsqlodbc3.so
Setup            = /usr/local/nz/lib/libnzsqlodbc3.so
APILevel         = 1
ConnectFunctions = YYN
Description      = Netezza ODBC driver
DriverODBCVer    = 03.51
DebugLogging     = false
LogPath          = /tmp
UnicodeTranslationOption = utf8
CharacterTranslationOption = all
PreFetch         = 256
Socket           = 16384

  3. Specify the environment variables of the Adobe Campaign server:

    • LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /usr/local/nz/lib and /usr/local/nz/lib64. “/usr/local/nz” corresponds to the installation repository offered by default when installing the drivers. Here you need to specify the repository that you have selected for the installation.
    • ODBCINI: location of the odbc.ini file (for example /etc/odbc.ini).
    • NZ_ODBC_INI_PATH: location of the odbc.ini file. Netezza also requires this second variable for using the odbc.ini file.

Netezza external account netezza-external

The Netezza external account allows you to connect your Campaign instance to your Netezza external database.

  1. From Campaign Explorer, click Administration ‘>’ Platform ‘>’ External accounts.

  2. Click New and select External database as Type.

  3. To configure the Netezza external account, you must specify:

    • Type: Netezza

    • Server: URL of the Netezza server

    • Account: Name of the user

    • Password: User account password

    • Database: Name of the database
