Each MDM project requires a connection to at
least one MDM server.
If you installed the Talend product via
the Talend Installer, the MDM Server should automatically start at system boot.
If it's not running for any reason, go to the mdm folder under the
Talend product directory and
run the start_mdm batch command.
Before you begin
Make sure that the
MDM server is up and running
before launching
Talend Studio.
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 pops up.
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, enter the URL of the MDM server to which you want to
connect.
The server URL is structured as follows:
http://[server address or server name]:[server port]/talendmdm/services/soap
.
-
Enter admin as the user name and
talend as the password.
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
Talend Studio
User Guide.
-
Select the Share Password check box if you want to save
your login credentials and avoid having to enter your password on every
connection.
This option only applies to Git projects. For local projects, it is
grayed out.
-
Click OK to close the dialog box.
Results
A connection to the
MDM server is
created.
