Installing non-rational data services


Robin Sving (21121) | asked Aug 05 '10, 8:52 a.m.
I am trying to install a data service for a non-rational (nor MS Project) product. All existing services have got adapters, and thus have a different process for their installation.

The http://localhost:9080/DataServices/ is working as intended, so now I am only looking for a guide for adding new Data Services for RI.

Any suggestions where to look would be appreciated

I haven't seen additional data services that make use of the data services framework. Insight has the ability to pull from any RESTful (XML over HTTP) data source or database. You will likely need to build the integration yourself if you can't find an existing integration. A quick method of importing data that is used in some cases is to export data from a system into a spreadsheet and use the spreadsheet to load data into Insight. While this may not be the ideal solution it has been proven to work and, depending on your data source, may get you up and running more quickly.

Thank you for your reply, Lawrence.
I had a hunch that it had to be done like that. Going to try that, but will start with a local file.
How do you link to a local file, then? Is it just using a local XML-file in the URL-field in XML Data Configuration, or do you need to use "file://c:\folder\.."?

Getting a weird error when I try to add a new resource in XML DC.

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
com.ibm.rational.etl.dataextraction.ui.wizardpages.NONRDSResourceWizardPage incompatible with com.ibm.rational.etl.dataextraction.ui.wizards.internal.AbstractDiscoveryWizardPage

This happens when I add a new resource via File -> New -> Resource and choose the resource group, but not when I right-click the recource group and choose new -> resource.

Update: Are Validates supposed to give some sort of confirmation, e.g. success or fail? For me it just opens and closes a window quickly, and nothing more.
