Getting Started

Create a JDBC Data Source

You can use the connection manager to define connection properties and save them in a new JDBC data source. The Sage Intacct data source can then be accessed from Aqua Data Studio tools.

In Aqua Data Studio, select Register Server from the Servers menu.
In the Register Server form, select the 'Generic - JDBC' connection.
Enter the following JDBC connection properties:
- Name: Enter a name for the data source; for example, Sage Intacct.
- Driver Location: Click the Browse button and select the cdata.jdbc.sageintacct.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
- Driver: Enter the Driver's class name, cdata.jdbc.sageintacct.SageIntacctDriver.
- URL: Enter the JDBC URL, which starts with jdbc:sageintacct: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.
  
  To connect using the Login method, the following connection properties are required: User, Password, CompanyId, SenderId and SenderPassword.
  
  User, Password, and CompanyId are the credentials for the account you wish to connect to.
  SenderId and SenderPassword are the Web Services credentials assigned to you by Sage Intacct.
  
  Built-in Connection String Designer
  
  For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Sage Intacct JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
```
java -jar cdata.jdbc.sageintacct.jar
```
  Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
  👁 Using the built-in connection string designer to generate a JDBC URL (Salesforce is shown.)
  A typical JDBC URL is below:
```
jdbc:sageintacct:User=myusername;CompanyId=TestCompany;Password=mypassword;SenderId=Test;SenderPassword=abcde123;
```
