We just finished a fresh install of IBM Cloud Pak for Data and I need to set up a platform connection to an Oracle database that uses Oracle Connection Manager. The DBA's are used to administering all database clients using a tnsnames.ora file which I think implies a "thick" connection in Oracle speak. Now in the New connection screen Cloud Pak already lists Oracle as a supported third-party connection type. Does this mean that Oracle specific jdbc drivers came already installed? If so does this support "thick" connections as well as thin? Is there a way to configure a tnsnames.ora file for this connection?
