Description
In this scenario, we will illustrate the sequence of events necessary to prepare our data integration for local-based development which is the first step in performing customizations.
Prerequisites
In order to be able to complete this laboratory exercise, please complete the prerequisite lab(s) before proceeding.
PlatformManager access
An existing IM instance
Access privileges for:
Partition creation
Git repository
Pricefx Maven repository
Partition Connection
SFTP Connection
One functioning Route
WinSCP FTP Client or equivalent
Step 1: Connect to IM Instance
Prior to local development, we will need to follow the path from the IM instance within PlatformManager to the Git repository that contains the contents of our integration project. Our goal will be the to open the Git repository linked to our IM instance.
Go to platform.pricefx.com and choose the Login with O365 option:
2. Click on the Integrations option (left-hand side):
3. From the list of integration instances, create a filter to locate your IM instance:
4. Locate your IM instance and click on it, this will open the IM instance page:
On the left-hand navigation, we will see all options related to this instance:
NOTE: We have selected our single IM instance and all of this options (Routes, Mappers, Connections, etc) are reflective of this single instance.
5. Next, we will open the Git repository linked to this IM instance:
NOTE: The creation of IM instance will automatically build a corresponding Git repository that will then contain all of the generated elements that are linked to this instance.
6. Click on the Git repository link to open the Git project:
Examine what is provided, click on the src/main folder and then open the resources folder:
NOTE: These are the properties files that will provide values for numerous variables that are then used in the different generated XML files that are performing our integration processes.
7. Click repo folder, this will show all of the folders for the different types of integration elements that are components (connections, routes, etc) of this IM instance:
