Teiid Designer questions

[bo.sun]

Hi,

I went through the 'Teiid Designer 7.1 Quick Start Guide"

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/TeiidDesigner71QuickStartGuide

I have two questions here:

one: I could not find a place where I can create "New Teiid Instance" as described below.

Create Teiid server Instance

1. Right-click in Teiid view and select “New Teiid Instance”

   
   

2. Provide URL: mm://<hostname>:<port1>

   • Default for Teiid is “mm://localhost:31443”

     
     

3. Default user-name is “admin”

   
   

4. Default password is “admin”

   
   

5. Hit finish

   
   

6. Initial Teiid View should contain your new Teiid server instance.

   
   

   • The Teiid view default contents will include any VDB's deployed to this server instance and any of your specific “workspace” Data Sources.

     
     

   • Data Sources are the  “JCA-compatible Connection Factory” xml configuration  components required for Teiid to create the necessary connections to query data at run-time.

     
     

Two: Since I am not able to create Teiid instance, so tried to manually export them into xml files, and deploy them into remote server. This is what I did,  I created an Oracle data source, and one VDB. Right click vdb or ds->export --> xml-> xml catelog, then select folder and file name, click finish button.

Here is how files read and obviously they are not the correct file.

DS file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"/>

VDB file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"/>

please correct me if my manual steps are not right.

best regards,

Bo

No, there is no manual export. I am not sure what you did. You need create the VDB in the Designer first. If do not need to preview the data you do not need to create Teiid Instance. But if need to preview, you need to connect your Designer to a working JBoss AS with Teiid installed. To create this connection click as below.

Ramesh,

thanks for the prompt response. I see the difference in installation. It looks your Teiid Designer is installed on JBOSS DEVELOPER STUDIO. while mine is installed on Eclipse. I do not have the section with title Teiid. Please advise if I need install it on JBOSS DEVE STUDIO and where is the installation guide... thanks a lot, Ramesh.

Best regards,

Bo

Bo,

It should not matter if you're using Dev Studio or just eclipse. It's possible that you may have closed the view earlier.  Click Window->Reset Perspective to reopen all of the default views.  If this does not expose the Teiid view, you probably do not have the current version of Teiid Designer.  Earlier versions did not have this view.

Thanks, John. I reinstalled the Teiid Designer with all components (Teiid designer run-time and another one which I did not install initially). It all works perfect now.
