Configuration overview
What is it?
After installing the Fiserv DNA Connector, you must create and configure several INI files that allow the connector components to communicate with OpCon and the Fiserv DNA Oracle database. Each file serves a specific purpose — together they form a chain: OpCon talks to the DNA Query Processor, which talks to Oracle, which runs the jobs.
NOTE
Sample INI files are available in the DNA/docs/INI_Samples directory. Use them as a starting point for each configuration file.
Configuration files to create
| File | Where it lives | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
SMAODBCConfiguration.dat | Copied from OpCon SAM folder into DNA\ | Provides the OpCon database connection string to the DNA Connector. |
SMARequestRouter.ini | Updated on the OpCon server | Registers the DNA Query Processor with OpCon's Request Router so OpCon knows how to route DNA job requests. |
SMAOracleConnection.ini | Created in DNA\ | Provides the Fiserv DNA Oracle database host, port, service name, and encrypted credentials. |
SMADNAQueryProcessor.ini | Created in DNA\ | Points the DNA Query Processor to both the OpCon connection file and the Oracle connection file. |
SMARunDNAJob.ini | Created where SMARunDNAJob.exe is installed | Controls all aspects of DNA job execution — Oracle connection, job monitoring, output handling, and logging. |
