Data adapters must be configured to allow the DataMigrator Server to access data on different types of databases. Once a data adapter is configured, you can create metadata for the tables or views in the form of synonyms. The synonyms are used to both access the data as sources, and to write the data to targets.
To access data in the DM process, the data adapters you need must be defined to the server. You need to add and configure a data adapter for every database type you want to access.
You can also configure and test data adapters from the Configuring Data Adapters page of the Web Console. For information, see the Server Administration for UNIX, Windows, OpenVMS, IBM i, and z/OS manual or the Web Console online help.
For complete documentation on configuring data adapters and for a detailed explanation of the associated connection parameters, refer to the Adapter Administration for UNIX, Windows, OpenVMS, IBM i, and z/OS manual.
The Add to Configuration dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
A confirmation message appears, as shown in the following image.

Opens a submenu for each configured database adapter that opens a help page that lists the data types supported for the selected adapter.
Opens a sub-menu with the choices of Alphabetically and In profile order.
For any adapters for which there are multiple connections configured, this controls the order in which they are displayed.
If you right-click an adapter folder, the options shown in the following image are available:
