Administrator repository login In release 6. 0 and higher, in the Data Integrator Administrator, all the repository connectivity occurs using JDBC and hence the previous connectivity information is either invalid or incomplete. When you use the Administrator, you will need to re-register all of your repositories. Use the following connection information guidelines: Database type All types Connection field Machine name Port Description Repository name Any logical name. Machine name on which the database server is running Port on which the database server is listening. The Administrator provides default values; if you do not know the port number, use the default. Depending on whether you are using an 8. 0. 2 or 8i database, it is either the SID or the Service name. This is the same as in previous Administrator or Designer connections. Database instance name. Oracle Service name/ SID Datasource DB2 Sybase ASE Database name 34 Data Integrator Release Notes Migration considerations Database type Connection field Description Database instance name. The name of the database instance running on the Server. Microsoft Database name SQL Server Informix Server name Database name Administrator users Administrator user configuration information in ActaWorks version 5. x was saved in a primary repository. When you upgrade to Data Integrator version 6. x or above, this information is lost. You must reconfigure your Administrator users manually. Web Services support When using Data Integrator with Web Services, the following limitations exist: · · · SAP R/3 IDoc message sources in real-time jobs are not supported The Data Integrator Web Services server uses the first Job Server in the list of those available for a batch job. If you are using Web Services and upgrading to versions 6. 5. 0. 1 or above, Web Services server (call-in) functionality that you created with previous versions of Data Integrator is not supported. Perform the following changes to manually upgrade the Web Services server: · Regenerate a WSDL file Prior to release 6. 5. 0. 1, every batch job and real-time service configured in Data Integrator was published in the WSDL file. In release 6. 5. 0. 1 and above, Data Integrator only publishes batch jobs and real-time services that you select. Clients that call Data Integrator using Web Services will fail until you authorize the jobs and services being invoked. · Change SOAP calls to match those in the 6. 5. 0. 1 and above versions. A session ID is not included in SOAP messages unless you enable security for the Web Services server. Prior to release 6. 5. 0. 1, the sessionID message part was published in every SOAP message. To fix this problem, change SOAP calls to match those in the 6. 5. 0. 1 or above version of the WSDL file. Data Integrator Release Notes 35 Migration considerations · · If security is off, remove the sessionID line from the SOAP input message. If security is on, copy the sessionID from the SOAP body to the SOAP header as a session ID now appears in the SOAP header instead of the body. Note: When you install 6. 5. 0. 1 or above, the installer automatically upgrades the Web Services Adapter and your existing Web Services clients will function properly. Sybase ASE bulk loader library on UNIX The installed Sybase ASE client on UNIX platforms does not include the Sybase bulk loader dynamic shared library that Data Integrator requires. Please refer to the README in either the CDROM Location/unix/PLATFORM/ AWSybase directory or the $LINK_DIR/AWSybase directory for instructions about how to: · · Confirm that the library is available in the Sybase client installation Build the library Informix native client support If you created an Informix repository and datastores with a previous Data Integrator release using DataDirect Technologies Connect ODBC driver, they are not compatible with Data Integrator 6. 5. 1 and above. You must recreate your repository, datastores, and jobs if you want to use the Informix native driver. 36 Data Integrator Release Notes Migration considerations Statistics repository tables The repository tables AL_FLOW_STAT and AL_JOB_STAT are no longer populated for job, work flow, or data flow statistics. [. . . ] Expertise is available in relational and multidimensional databases, connectivities, database design tools, customized embedding technology, and more.
