Configure a data source for your deployment environment

Configure your business integration data source for the first time using the Database Provider Configuration page.

When security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must log in to the administrative console as an administrator or configurator to perform this task.

Use the Data Sources page to configure the collection of all the data sources that are needed in your deployment environment.

The component that needs the data source determines all required fields based on the Database Provider selected, and these fields must be completed. The component completes the rest of the fields with default values. You may either keep the default values or change them to meet your needs. In most cases, the component determines the Scope value.

You can configure a business integration data source only once. After you configure the data source and save it, some text boxes will be unavailable and you cannot change the values. All other text boxes on the page can be edited.


Procedure

  1. In the Data Sources page, select check box next to the data source to configure.

  2. Click Edit Provider to edit additional data source fields that are not shown on this page.

    Alternatively, you can just click the name of the data source in the Data Source column.

  3. Enter the information. For a list of supported database types, see "Database specifications."

  4. Click Apply or OK to save your changes.
