A connection contains the connectivity details for a data source or target.

Check the following list for specific technologies you can use as sources and targets in Oracle GoldenGate for MongoDB Migrations.

Learn to create a connection to MongoDB to use as a GoldenGate Studio source or target.

1. From the GoldenGate Studio Home page, click Create connection.
2. The Create connection configuration panel consists of three pages. On the General Information page, enter a Connection name, and optionally, a Description.
3. Select a connection from the Connection type dropdown, and then click Next.
4. On the Connections details page, complete the following fields, and then click Next:
   1. Enter the Connection string.

      If the username and password are included in the connection string, remove them from the connection string and enter them in the Username and Password fields provided. Ensure the connection string matches the expected format:

      Supported technologies	Expected connection string format
      MongoDB	mongodb://host1[:port1][...hostN[:portN]][/[defaultauthdb][?options]]
      MongoDB Atlas	mongodb+srv://<host>/[?options]
      Oracle JSON Collection Tables	mongodb://<host>:<port>/?authMechanism=PLAIN&authSource=$external&retryWrites=false&loadBalanced=true&tls={true|false}
      Oracle Autonomous JSON Database	mongodb://<host>:<port>/?authMechanism=PLAIN&authSource=$external&ssl=true&retryWrites=false&loadBalanced=true

   2. (Optional) If connection string includes credentials, enter the Username and Password.

      Note:

      For MongoDB or Oracle JSON Collection connections, if TLS/SSL is set to true in your connection string, then only verified CA-signed certificates will be accepted. Self-signed certificates won't be validated.
5. On the Confirmation page review a summary of your connection details, and then click Create.
