Connecting to a DIS Data Source

Overview

ROMA Connect can use the DIS database as a data source for data integration tasks. Before using the DIS data source, you need to connect it to ROMA Connect.

Prerequisites

Each connected data source must belong to an integration application. Ensure that an integration application is available before connecting a data source, or create one first.

Procedure

1. Log in to the ROMA Connect console. On the Instances page, click View Console of an instance.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Data Sources. In the upper right corner of the page, click Access Data Source.
3. On the Default tab page, select DIS and click Next.
4. Configure the data source connection information.

5. Click Check Connectivity to check the connectivity between ROMA Connect and the data source.
   • If the test result is Data source connected successfully, go to the next step.
   • If the test result is Failed to connect to the data source, check the data source status and connection parameters, and click Recheck until the connection is successful.
6. Click Create.
