Relational Data Sources

See the TDV Installation and Upgrade Guide for supported data sources. Specific connection details, parameters, and settings are slightly different for each adapter.

For more information on using these, see Configuring Relational Data Sources.

File Data Sources

See the TDV Installation and Upgrade Guide for supported data sources.

For more information on using these, see Configuring File Data Sources.

WSDL and Web Services Data Sources

TDV supports Web Services Definition Language (WSDL), SOAP, and REST. Web services can be “bound” to any message format and protocol, but these bindings are the most popular: SOAP, REST, HTTP, and MIME. TDV supports several profiles for SOAP binding, including the following: SOAP over HTTP, SOAP over WSIF JMS, and SOAP over TIBCO JMS.

See Configuring Web-Based Data Sources for more information.

LDAP Data Sources

You can use LDAP sources as data sources or (in some cases) as authentication servers. The TDV LDAP basic adapter supports the LDAP v3 protocol, and it is used when you want to use an LDAP source as an introspected data source. Most LDAP sources that are LDAP v3 compliant can be used with the TDV LDAP driver to connect and introspect the selected resource nodes for use in the modeling layer. When you want to use an LDAP source as an authentication service, the TDV Web Manager > Domain Management page is used to add and initially configure the LDAP domain. See the TDV Installation and Upgrade Guide for a list of compatible LDAP directory services. Refer to the TDV Administration Guide section on LDAP Domain Administration for more details on how to implement an LDAP domain for TDV user and group authentication.
