To access external DBMS data from TIBCO Object Service Broker, you must define a TIBCO Object Service Broker table of type SLK using the Table Definer. You also have the option of using the Table Definer to map a stored procedure for TIBCO Service Gateway for ODBC, that is, if you set SERVERTYPE to SLK. Using the Table Definer, you can access an existing table definition or create a new one.
Each SLK table must be unique; it must be defined to one and only one SERVERID. You can use the SERVERID parameter to identify a pool of Gateways that are considered equivalent by the Data Object Broker.
Accordingly, for TIBCO Service Gateway for ODBC, you must indicate which data source to use; for TIBCO Service Gateway for Oracle, you must indicate which Oracle SID to use.
