Adding Storage Services

A storage service defines the back-end implementation and storage characteristics of a SmartMapper ER Model. Take the JDBC-Based SmartMapper Service as an example.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have created a SmartMapper ER Model shared resource before adding storage services.

Procedure

  1. Click the Storages tab in the SmartMapper ER Model editor.
  2. Click Add JDBC Service and configure the storage service in the displayed Configuration tab.
  3. Select the Active check box to set this storage service as active.
    Note: Only one storage service can be active among many.
  4. In the JDBC Settings tab, select a Database type from the Database list, and provide correct parameters for each field.
    See JDBC Settings Tab for more details.
  5. Click Test Connection to validate the connection.
  6. Click Sync ER Model w/DB to perform synchronization.
    See Synchronizing SmartMapper ER Model for more details.
