Connecting Client Applications to TDV Resources

The general steps to configuring your client application to access data through TDV are described in this section.

To connect to data through TDV

1.

Identify the underlying data sources, the virtual data resources that need to be built and published in TDV, and the client applications that will consume the TDV data resources.

2.

Configure the data source connections between TDV and the underlying data sources.

3.

Define and publish your data resources in TDV.

4.

Determine how your client applications need to access the published resources in TDV (JDBC, ODBC, etc.) Refer to Driver Support for the drivers supported.

5.

Configure the connections between TDV and the client applications as described in one of the following sections:

Connector Type	See
JDBC	Connecting to TDV Server through JDBC
ODBC	Connecting to TDV Server through ODBC
SOAP	Connecting to TDV Server through SOAP
REST	Connecting to TDV Server through REST
OData	Connecting to TDV Server through OData
ADO.Net	Connecting to TDV Server through ADO.NET

6.

Test your client application access to TDV.
