Defining a Data Source

 

A connector DataSource is an implementation of the abstract java class AbstractDataSource. When defining a DataSource the following functions require implementation: 

 

public abstract String getDataSourceName(); 

public abstract Collection<AbstractDataSet> getDataSets(); 

public abstract JDBCMetaData getDataSourceMetaData(); 

public abstract boolean authenticate() throws Exception; 

public abstract void disconnect(); 

public abstract Map<String, Object> testConnection() throws Exception 

 

The following functions can optionally be overwritten: 

 

public ScheduleDefinition getScheduleDefinition(); 

public boolean autoRun() { return true; };
