This tutorial assumes that your DataMigrator Server and DataMigrator Client software have been installed and configured.
You will need to complete the following startup and setup tasks before you begin to design your data flow:
Using whatever method is appropriate for your operating system:
For the tutorial, we will create an additional node and name it DEMO. We will store and work with flows and related files in this location.
Since many users prefer, or need, to establish additional server nodes that point to the DataMigrator Server they will be using in the course of their work, we have added this setup task.
However, you may wish to use the DataMigrator Server node that you configured during the DataMigrator client installation. The node is simply a name that, by way of its properties, points to the DataMigrator Server. You can have as many nodes as you like pointing to the same server.
If you wish to use the node name you set up during the DataMigrator Client installation, skip to Create Sample Data and Metadata and Create an Application Directory. Keep in mind that when an instruction in the tutorial refers to DEMO, you must apply the instruction to the name of the server node you are using.
The X that appears over the server name indicates that the DMC is not currently connected to the DataMigrator Server. You will connect shortly.
Notice that the Console Log at the bottom of the screen has tracked your startup steps. It will continue to track each step in your work process.
Right-click Servers and click Add Server Node. The Server Node Configuration window opens, as shown in the following image.
The DEMO node is now added to the Servers list.
Your first task is to create the sample data and metadata you will be using in the tutorial.
To create the sample data and metadata from the DMC, see How to Create Sample Procedures and Data.
After you have created your sample data, set up a separate application directory called salesdemo in the Application Directory tree. This application directory will contain the flows and other files you will be creating.
The Create New Application dialog box opens.
The salesdemo application directory is now listed in the approot tree in the navigation pane. Notice that ibisamp, the directory in which sample data is installed, is already in the Application Path box, which means it is in the application path of the server.
If the directory is not listed, right-click Application Directories and click Application Path. Check that the check box in the In Path column is selected for salesdemo. Click Save to save your changes.
Tip: In addition to salesdemo and ibisamp, the Application Directory tree contains a directory called baseapp. This is a default directory that is added automatically to your Application Path during installation. There is no need to add baseapp explicitly to your Application Path.
The salesdemo folder you created in the Web Console now appears in the Application Directories list.
Next step: Your setup is complete. The next step is to create a Data Flow.
