Connect WebSphere Application Server datasource on Bluemix to on-premise database - websphere

I've been looking for information on how a WebSphere Application Server datasource on Bluemix can connect to a database on-promise, but haven't found much.
I read that Secure Gateway can help connecting on-premise resources to other apps on Bluemix, but I still have questions about the connection information that you should configure on your datasource:
What IP or hostname address should I give?
Is it necessary to have a public IP in order to make the connection?
I want to run a simple test deploying DayTrader3 app on WAS on Bluemix and connect it to an on-premise DB2 to test the latency and response times, compared to a full on-premise solution. Any guidance on this configuration is really appreciated!

Migrating Oracle Secure Global Desktop on Azure

We have to migrate the Oracle Secure Global Desktop application on Azure cloud.
So, My question is as below-
Is it possible to migrate above application on Azure cloud ?
If we plan to migrate it what thing I have to take care?
Regards,
Abhi
Yes, you can connect Oracle Secure Global Desktop with Azure cloud as the oracle have partnered with Microsoft with the private connectivity by enabling VPN access.
For private access from your data center to Oracle Cloud, use either Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect or IPSec VPN. Similarly, for private traffic from your data center to Microsoft Azure, use ExpressRoute or VPN.
For cross-cloud networking between Oracle Cloud and Microsoft Azure, set up a connection between a FastConnect circuit in Oracle Cloud and an ExpressRoute circuit in Microsoft Azure.
you can connect through Microsoft Azure Virtual Network and Express Route

Connect to Oracle OnPremises using Azure Data Factory - via S2sVPN

Is it possible to connect to on-premises Oracle DB using Azure Data Factory via a Site to Site VPN? Or am I obliged to use a Self-Hosted Integration Runtime?
Thanks
If your data store is located inside an on-premises network, an Azure virtual network, or Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, you need to configure a self-hosted integration runtime to connect to it.
If your data store is a managed cloud data service, you can use the Azure Integration Runtime. If the access is restricted to IPs that are approved in the firewall rules, you can add Azure Integration Runtime IPs to the allow list.
You can also use the managed virtual network integration runtime feature in Azure Data Factory to access the on-premises network without installing and configuring a self-hosted integration runtime.
For more information about the network security mechanisms and options supported by Data Factory, see Data access strategies.
The integration runtime provides a built-in Oracle driver. Therefore, you don't need to manually install a driver when you copy data from and to Oracle.

Connecting to On-Premises Oracle DB from Azure Data Factory

Trying to connecting to On-Premises Oracle DB from Azure Data Factory.
Current Setup:
Oracle db - On Premises
VM with Self Hosted Integration Runtime on Azure - Tested with other MSSQL Server Databases - can connect successfully - This VM is managed by ITP (our Cloud Hosting Team), developers don't have access to it.
Azure Data Factory - configured to consume above Self Hosted Integration Runtime.
I can connect to Oracle db from my local machine, using Taod for Oracle. When passed same credential details - connection fails from ADF.
Do I need to ask ITP to install ODAC on VM for the connectivity?
Congratulations that #Sreedhar have figured out the error by himself:
"Figured out, just need to install Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) on the VM and everything works."
I help him post it as answer and this can be beneficial to other community members.

IBM Worklight 6.1: How to implement HTTPS secure connection between mobile app with Worklight Server?

I have an requirement to implement HTTPS secure connection between Mobile application with IBM Worklight server.
Setup I have is,
Mobile App -> IHS -> IBM Worklight server.
Is there a standard way to implement secure connection between Mobile app with Worklight server?
Note:
IBM Worklight server is running on Liberty profile.
See this documentation topic: Typical topologies of an IBM Worklight instance
IMO in front of the Worklight Server you should have a "gateway" server, a load balancer or Apache, that receives HTTPS connections; you set up and point your application to it. This server then routes the requests to the Worklight Server.
Any IT department is likely to understand how to configure an appropriate secure setup...

web service calling from console app, web service unable to connect the azure database

we want to connect the Azure database by using console application. my application sheduled in system it has dynamic IP. so i have problem to connect Sql Azure.
then developed a webservice and hosted in windows azure and consumed the web service from console still we have same issue.
please suggest
If you know the IP range, you can allow the entire range on the database firewall. It's not very elegant but will work.
