Data Integration Service Applications Overview

A developer can create a logical data object, physical data object, mapping, SQL data service, web service, or workflow and add it to an application in the Developer tool. To run the application, the developer must deploy it. A developer can deploy an application to an application archive file or deploy the application directly to the Data Integration Service.

As an administrator, you can deploy an application archive file to a Data Integration Service. You can enable the application to run and start the application.

When you deploy an application archive file to a Data Integration Service, the Deployment Manager validates the logical data objects, physical data objects, mappings, SQL data services, web services, and workflows in the application. The deployment fails if errors occur. The connections that are defined in the application must be valid in the domain that you deploy the application to.

The Data Integration Service stores the application in the Model repository associated with the Data Integration Service.

You can configure the default deployment mode for a Data Integration Service. The default deployment mode determines the state of each application after deployment. An application is disabled, stopped, or running after deployment.

The Applications view displays the applications that have been deployed to a Data Integration Service. You can view the objects in the application and the properties. You can start and stop an application, an SQL data service, and a web service in the application. You can also back up and restore an application.

The Applications view shows the applications in alphabetic order. The Applications view does not show empty folders. Expand the application name in the top panel to view the objects in the application.

When you select an application or object in the top panel of the Applications view, the bottom panel displays read-only general properties and configurable properties for the selected object. The properties change based on the type of object you select.

When you select physical data objects, you can click a column heading in the lower panel to sort the list of objects. You can use the filter bar to filter the list of objects.

Refresh the Applications view to see the latest applications and their states.
