This section explains the task of defining how Integration Composer connects
to a data source.
About this task
To define the two
TADDM data
sources, follow these steps:
Procedure
- Sign in to Integration Composer.
- Select Define New Data Source. The Data Source page is displayed in the Define
a New Data Source window.
- Select TADDM75CIType and
click Next. The Data
Source page is displayed.
- In the Data Source field, type a
name for the data source. The name must have at least two characters and is case-sensitive. For example,
type TADDM75CIType. Then click Next. The connection information fields are displayed.
- In the Connection Method drop-down
list, select the Configuration Discovery and Tracking API for your
connection method.
- Type in the connection parameters, as required. For example:
| |
Connection Method: |
IBM Configuration Discovery and Tracking API |
| |
|
|
| |
Host Name: |
taddm_host.tiv.austin.ibm.com |
| |
Host Port: |
For TADDM Version
7.2.1 or earlier, specify 9530 for your host
port. For TADDM Version
7.2.2 or later, specify 9433 for your host
port.

- Optional: If appropriate, click Test
Connection to test the connection to the data source. Integration Composer displays
a Test Connection dialog box, which indicates
whether the test was successful. To respond to the dialog box, select
one of the following options:
- If Integration Composer establishes
a connection, it displays a confirmation message. Click OK. Integration Composer closes
the Test Connection dialog box. Go to step 8.
- If Integration Composer cannot
establish a connection, it displays an explanatory message. Click OK. Integration Composer closes
the Test Connection dialog box. Review the values
for the connection parameters and retry the connection.
Note: Test Connection verifies
only the host name and port, without invoking underlying Integration Composer processes.
Even if it is successful, it is still possible to receive save errors
that are unrelated to this connection information. (JDBC drivers that
do not comply with JDBC 2.0 probably do not support this feature.)
- On the Connection
Information page, click Finish. Integration Composer displays
a Save dialog box.
- Click OK. Integration Composer returns
you to the main window.
Note: If Integration Composer does
not save the data source successfully, it displays one or more error
messages. Click OK. Integration Composer closes
the error message dialog box. Resolve any errors and try defining
the data source again. For error information,
refer to the fusion.log file located in the log folder
in your installation directory.
- Repeat these steps to define the data source for TADDM actual
CI data. In step 3 select TADDM75ActualCI.
What to do next
In an
Integration Composer session,
if you connect to one of the defined data sources,
Integration Composer keeps
the data source connection open throughout the session. The connection
is kept open unless you complete one of the following steps:
- Run a mapping for the data source.
- Use the Close Data Source Connection option
in the Data Source menu in the Integration Composer window
to close the connection.
- Delete the open data source.
