Remote database access rights remote-database-access-rights

Last update: Mon Jul 31 2023 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

First, so that the user can carry out operations on an external database via FDA, the latter must have a specific named right in Adobe Campaign.

  1. Select the Administration > Access Management > Named Rights node in the Adobe Campaign explorer.

  2. Create a new right by specifying your chosen label.

  3. The Name field must take the following format user:base@server, where :

    • user corresponds with the name of the user in the external database.

    • base corresponds with the name of the external database.

    • server corresponds with the name of the external database server.

      note note
      NOTE
      The :base part is optional in Oracle.

  4. Save the named right then link it to your chosen user from the Administration > Access Management > Operators node of the Adobe Campaign explorer.

Then, to process the data contained in an external database, the Adobe Campaign user must have at least ‘Write’ rights on the database to be able to create worktables. These are deleted automatically by Adobe Campaign.

Generally speaking, the following rights are necessary:

  • CONNECT: connection to the remote database,
  • READ Data: read-only access to tables containing customer data,
  • READ ‘MetaData’: access to the server data catalogs to obtain the table structure,
  • LOAD: mass loading in work tables (required when working on collections and joins),
  • CREATE/DROP for TABLE/INDEX/PROCEDURE/FUNCTION (only for worktables generated by Adobe Campaign),
  • EXPLAIN (recommended): for monitoring performances in case of problems,
  • WRITE Data (depending on the integration scenario).

The database administrator needs to make these rights match with the rights specific to each database engine. For more information, refer to the section below.
