What are the values for the RDBMSType in "MetaSourceConnection"?

Just updated Indicium to 2026.2.13.1 and this message appears in the log:

No RDBMSType was specified in the "MetaSourceConnection" configuration. It will default to 'SQLServer'. Providing a value will become mandatory in the future.”

This did not exists in the .12 version, so it seems to be added. I however cannot find a mention of it in the release notes or the documentation.

What are the possible values here and is correct “SQLServer” the casing to use?

Please also update the documentation accordingly, so one can find such information even if it is not a mandatory value yet.

Hi Mark,

The appsettings.sample.json has the information about it:

New RDBMSType setting in appsettings.json

The Intelligent Application Manager will be releasing for iSeries DB2 with the 2026.3, thus this setting is needed to be adjustable. Prior to 2026.3, IAM was only available on SQL Server.

Hello Mark,

thanks for the answer. I would have never looked into that file as we already have the files prepared for all environments. Unless there is a mention about new configuration options or requirements in release notes, this information will remain hidden.

I think I will not be the only one that will not look inside the included appsetting.json when they have working environments.

Hopefully the documentation will be updated soon as well, so people don’t depend on community posts when they require such info.
