Defining TADDM data sources for CI type and actual CI data

This section explains the task of defining how Integration Composer connects to a data source.

1. Sign in to Integration Composer.
2. Select Define New Data Source.
   The Data Source page is displayed in the Define a New Data Source window.
3. Select TADDM75CIType and click Next.
   The Data Source page is displayed.
4. In the Data Source field, type a name for the data source. The name must have at least two characters and is case-sensitive.
   For example, type TADDM75CIType. Then click Next.
   The connection information fields are displayed.
5. In the Connection Method list, select the Configuration Discovery and Tracking API for your connection method.
6. Type in the connection parameters, as required.
   For example:

   Connection Method:

   IBM Configuration Discovery and Tracking API

   Host Name:

   taddm_host.tiv.austin.ibm.com

   Host Port:

   For TADDM Version 7.2.1 or earlier, specify 9530 for your host port.

   For TADDM Version 7.2.2 or later, specify 9433 for your host port.

   Use SSL:

   Trusted Location:

   User Name:

   administrator

   Password:

   ********

7. Optional: If appropriate, click Test Connection to test the connection to the data source.
   Integration Composer displays a Test Connection dialog, which indicates whether the test was successful. To respond to the dialog box, select one of the following options:

   • If Integration Composer establishes a connection, it displays a confirmation message. Click OK. Integration Composer closes the Test Connection dialog. Go to step 8.
   • If Integration Composer cannot establish a connection, it displays an explanatory message. Click OK. Integration Composer closes the Test Connection dialog. Review the values for the connection parameters and retry the connection.

   Note: Test Connection verifies only the host name and port, without invoking underlying Integration Composer processes. Even if it is successful, it is still possible to receive save errors that are unrelated to this connection information. (JDBC drivers that do not comply with JDBC 2.0 probably do not support this feature.)
8. On the Connection Information page, click Finish.
   Integration Composer displays a Save dialog.
9. Click OK.
   Integration Composer returns you to the main window.

   Note: If Integration Composer does not save the data source successfully, it displays one or more error messages. Click OK. Integration Composer closes the error message dialog box. Resolve any errors and try defining the data source again. For error information, see the fusion.log file located in the log folder in your installation directory.
10. Repeat these steps to define the data source for TADDM actual CI data. In step 3 select TADDM75ActualCI.
