Using the Data Source Configuration Wizard

To access archived data on the ODM Server, you need to define the data source. Data sources can easily be defined using the Data Configuration Wizard, described in this section. In addition, you can use the wizard to edit or test an existing data source definition.

  1. After adding a machine to Optim Connect Studio, configure a datasource.
  2. In the Connect Studio Configuration explorer, expand the Binding list, and expand the member you want to work with.
  3. Right-click Data Sources and select New Data Source.
  4. On the New data source panel, select Optim Archive and enter a value for Name: and press Next.
  5. The Optim Archive Configuration Parameters panel displays. This panel has the following fields:

Optim Directory
This parameter is required. Supply the name of the Optim Directory where the data source resides.
Type
Select the type of the data source from one of the following:
  • Archive File Collection (this is the default)
  • Archive File Name

  • Archive GUID

This parameter is required. The XML attribute created for the data source type:
  • COLLECTION for Archive File Collections
  • ARCV_FILE for Archive Files
  • ARCV_ID for an Archive ID
  • ARCV_GUID for an Archive GUID

This parameter is optional. It is enabled only when Type is Archive File Collection. Allowable values are:
’AF_IN(n,n,..)’

This parameter is optional. It is the XML mapping to value for DATASOURCE/CONFIG/@PSTTRACE. Allowable values are:

Using the Data Source Configuration Wizard to Edit a Definition

You may need to edit an existing data source definition, and this can be done using the Data Source Configuration Wizard.

  1. From the Optim Connect Studio panel, right-click on a data source that you want to edit. The Data Source Context menu displays:
    Select Open.
  2. A panel displays showing the data source name and type. The Property column lists all possible properties for this data type. The Value column displays the current value defined for each property. This area is modifiable and you can make any changes to the values, or you can click the Restore Defaults button to restore default values.
