Use the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for EnterpriseDB to create a EnterpriseDB data source in TIBCO Data Virtualization Studio and gain access to live EnterpriseDB 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 EnterpriseDB, you get federated access to live EnterpriseDB data directly within TIBCO Data Virtualization. This article walks through deploying an adapter and creating a new data source based on EnterpriseDB.
With built-in optimized data processing, the CData TIBCO DV Adapter offers unmatched performance for interacting with live EnterpriseDB data. When you issue complex SQL queries to EnterpriseDB, the adapter pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to EnterpriseDB. Its built-in dynamic metadata querying allows you to work with and analyze EnterpriseDB data using native data types.
Deploy the EnterpriseDB 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 EnterpriseDB
Extract the CData TIBCO DV Adapter to a local folder and deploy the JAR file (tdv.enterprisedb.jar) to the server from the extract location.
.\server_util.bat -server localhost -user admin -password ******** -deploy -package /PATH/TO/tdv.enterprisedb.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 EnterpriseDB.
Create a EnterpriseDB Data Source in TDV Studio
With the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for EnterpriseDB, you can easily create a data source for EnterpriseDB 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. EnterpriseDB) and click Next.
- Name the data source (e.g. CData EnterpriseDB Source).
Fill in the required connection properties.
The following connection properties are required in order to connect to data.
- Server: The host name or IP of the server hosting the EnterpriseDB database.
- Port: The port of the server hosting the EnterpriseDB database.
You can also optionally set the following:
- Database: The default database to connect to when connecting to the EnterpriseDB Server. If this is not set, the user's default database will be used.
Connect Using Standard Authentication
To authenticate using standard authentication, set the following:
- User: The user which will be used to authenticate with the EnterpriseDB server.
- Password: The password which will be used to authenticate with the EnterpriseDB server.
Connect Using SSL Authentication
You can leverage SSL authentication to connect to EnterpriseDB data via a secure session. Configure the following connection properties to connect to data:
- SSLClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate. Used in the case of 2-way SSL, where truststore and keystore are kept on both the client and server machines.
- SSLClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.
- SSLClientCertSubject: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. Used to locate the certificate in the store.
- SSLClientCertType: The certificate type of the client store.
- SSLServerCert: The certificate to be accepted from the server.
- 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 EnterpriseDB tables, views, and stored procedures as resources.
After creating and introspecting the data source, you are ready to work with EnterpriseDB 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.
