About this task
Before you begin working with the
MDM
perspective of the
Talend Studio, you need to create a connection to
at least one MDM server.
To create a connection to an MDM server, do the following:
Procedure
-
In the Talend Studio main window, in the Server Explorer panel, click the
button to specify a new MDM server location.
The Add Server Location dialog box
appears.
Note: You can have more than one active connection to the
MDM server using different authentication
information.
-
In the Name field, enter a name or
description for the MDM server to which you want to
connect.
You can then choose this alias to refer to the server from different points in
Talend Studio. This simplifies deployment of MDM related integration
and quality Jobs.
-
In the Server field, type in the address
of the MDM server to which you want to connect.
The server address is structured as follows:
http://[server address]:[server
port]/talendmdm/services/soap
-
Enter admin as the user name and
talend as the password.
Note: When you connect to
Talend Studio as a
Talend administrator, you have the rights only to manage
roles and access control in
Talend Studio, but you do not have any of the rights of the
System-Admin.
For further
information on user roles and access rights, see
Security principle in Talend MDM.
-
Select the Share Password check box if
you want to save your login credentials and avoid having to
enter your password on every connection.
Note that this option only applies to Git projects. For
local projects, it is grayed out.
-
Click OK to close the dialog box and
create the connection to the MDM server.
Results
When developing an MDM solution, you can have more than one MDM server
environment. Talend Studio allows you to define multiple MDM server
locations.
You can repeat the above procedure to create connections to as many MDM
servers as needed. Then, in the Server
Explorer panel, you can choose which server to
interact with from the list of servers displayed.
Talend Studio also allows you to disable one particular MDM server so that it will not appear in the dialog box where you
need to select an MDM server to access physically.
To disable an MDM server, in the Server Explorer panel,
right-click the connection to the MDM server, and then click Disable.
To enable an MDM server which has already been disabled, in the Server
Explorer panel, right-click the connection to
the disabled MDM server, and then click Enable.
