Defining a distributed lookup data source

Use the Optim™ preferences to define a lookup data source for the distributed platform.

A database connection is required. You can add the connection in the Data Source Explorer view or create a connection when you define the lookup data source.

You will need to identify a DB alias and schema for the lookup data.

To define a lookup data source for the distributed platform:

  1. Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. In the navigation tree, expand the Optim node and then click Distributed Lookup Data Source. The Distributed Lookup Data Source page opens.
  3. Click Edit. The Distributed Lookup Data Source Selection wizard opens.
  4. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You must select a connection to the lookup data source and specify a DB alias and schema for the lookup data. You can also create or edit a connection.

  5. Click OK.
