Use the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for Couchbase to create a Couchbase data source in TIBCO Data Virtualization Studio and gain access to live Couchbase data from your TDV Server.
TIBCO Data Virtualization (TDV) is an enterprise data virtualization solution that orchestrates access to multiple and varied data sources. When paired with the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for Couchbase, you get federated access to live Couchbase data directly within TIBCO Data Virtualization. This article walks through deploying an adapter and creating a new data source based on Couchbase.
With built-in optimized data processing, the CData TIBCO DV Adapter offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Couchbase data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Couchbase, the adapter pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Couchbase. Its built-in dynamic metadata querying allows you to work with and analyze Couchbase data using native data types.
Deploy the Couchbase TIBCO DV Adapter
In a console, navigate to the bin folder in the TDV Server installation directory. If there is a current version of the adapter installed, you will need to undeploy it.
.\server_util.bat -server localhost -user admin -password ******** -undeploy -version 1 -name Couchbase
Extract the CData TIBCO DV Adapter to a local folder and deploy the JAR file (tdv.couchbase.jar) to the server from the extract location.
.\server_util.bat -server localhost -user admin -password ******** -deploy -package /PATH/TO/tdv.couchbase.jar
You may need to restart the server to ensure the new JAR file is loaded properly, which can be accomplished by running the composite.bat script located at: C:\Program Files\TIBCO\TDV Server <version>\bin. Note that reauthenticating to the TDV Studio is required after restarting the server.
Sample Restart Call
.\composite.bat monitor restartOnce you deploy the adapter, you can create a new data source in TDV Studio for Couchbase.
Create a Couchbase Data Source in TDV Studio
With the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for Couchbase, you can easily create a data source for Couchbase and introspect the data source to add resources to TDV.
Create the Data Source
- Right-click on the folder you wish to add the data source to and select New -> New Data Source.
- Scroll until you find the adapter (e.g. Couchbase) and click Next.
- Name the data source (e.g. CData Couchbase Source).
Fill in the required connection properties.
To connect using the Login method, set User, Password, and Server to the credentials for the account and the address of the server you want to connect to.
- Click Create & Close.
Introspect the Data Source
Once the data source is created, you can introspect the data source by right-clicking and selecting Open. In the dashboard, click Add/Remove Resources and select the Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures to include as part of the data source. Click Next and Finish to add the selected Couchbase tables, views, and stored procedures as resources.
After creating and introspecting the data source, you are ready to work with Couchbase data in TIBCO Data Virtualization just like you would any other relational data source. You can create views, query using SQL, publish the data source, and more.
