How Can I Configure Oracle Symbolic Link Mappings Using the REST API?

Question

How do I configure Oracle symbolic link mappings when creating a connection using the Fivetran REST API?

Environment

• The following connectors:
  • Oracle
  • Oracle RAC
  • Oracle E-Business Suite
  • SAP ECC on Oracle
• Incremental sync method: Binary Log Reader

Answer

To configure symbolic link mappings using the REST API, include the following fields in the connection configuration:

• Set enable_symbolic_links to true.
• In the symbolic_links_mapping configuration object, specify each mapping using:
  • key: The source directory path
  • value: The mapped physical path

Example payload:

{
  "config": {
    "enable_symbolic_links": true,
    "symbolic_links_mapping": [
     {
      "key": "<source_directory_path_1>",
      "value": "<mapped_physical_path_1>"
     },
     {
      "key": "<source_directory_path_2>",
      "value": "<mapped_physical_path_2>"
     }
   ]
  }
}

Ensure each key and value matches the corresponding source and physical paths you would enter when configuring the mapping in the Fivetran dashboard.
