Datapool Profiles Screen

This is the first screen you see when you click Administration > Datapool Profiles. It displays all datapools that you can subscribe to and are supported by TIBCO MDM.

Use this screen for the following activities:

  • Modify Datapool Profiles
To modify a datapool profile, click Modify in the Actions column. The Datapool Profiles - Synchronization Formats screen is displayed. On this screen you can:
    • Modify supported synchronization formats. TIBCO MDM supports formats specific to datapools, and default formats can be set for each datapool. If custom formats are required, they can be created using synchronization formats.
    • Create Credentials. A Datapool credential uniquely identifies a datapool or backend system within a datapool. This establishes message origination and destination for that backend system. For example, a supplier wants to do business with a backend system through a datapool such as 1WorldSync. the datapool provides User IDs and Passwords or credentials to both the supplier and backend system, and identifies itself to both using its own password and credentials.
  • Subscribe or Unsubscribe to Datapools
Click the Subscribe or Unsubscibe button in the Actions column.
  • Filter Datapools 
By default, all datapools are displayed. They can be sorted based on subscription from the View drop-down list.

There are two forms of Datapool profiles. The most common form is when a company wants to communicate with a Datapool. In this case, the only data elements visible are:

  • Subscribe to this Datapool.
  • Define any integration URL, if applicable.
  • Define credentials. Here, the credentials of the Datapool are defined (and not the company as company credentials are defined in the Company Profile).
  • Some preexisting credentials are displayed as read only. These credentials are global and can only be modified by a super user.

A supplier organization Datapool Profile consists of:

  • Documents for communication - such as Item Add, or Item Publish.
  • A document format - such as EANUCC, XML, 1WorldSync, and so on.
