  1. Setup TDI

    This article show how to install the TDI 7.1 on Linux RedHat.

     Instead of fixpack 5, i installed the fixpack 6 with the same steps.

    My Connections server is 4.5 and running on Centos 6.3 using DB2 as RDBMS and ITDS 6.3 as LDAP Server .
     

  2. Setup the development environment
     

    Create a folder called TDISOL. I create bellow the /opt/IBM.  My TDI was installed on /opt/IBM/TDI.

    Copy the tdisol.tar into TDISOL folder and extract the content using tar -xvf  tdisol.tar

    Go to /opt/ibm/TDISOL/TDI and edit the file profiles_tdi.properties and update the following lines according your environment:

    source_ldap_url=ldap://ldapserver:389

    source_ldap_user_login=DN of bind user

    source_ldap_search_base= ex: dc=acme,dc=com

    dbrepos_jdbc_url=jdbc:db2://db2hostname:50000/peopledb

    dbrepos_jdbc_driver=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver

    dbrepos_username=lcuser

    dbrepos_password=

    I got some erros when i start the TDI configuration editor.

    Check the  solution.properties file and verify the value of  api.remote.naming.port .

     The value must be the TDI Server port. The default is 1099.

  3. Start the configuration editor
     

    Go to TDI Serever folder  /opt/IBM/TDI/V7.1 and type

    ./ibmditk  –s /opt/IBM/TDISOL/TDI

    You need to create the workspace. Create the workspace bellow the /TDISOL/TDI/


     

    Close the window bellow and start your project



     

    Warning! You must see your default server started!



     

    Import the configuration. This configuration has the Assembly lines and resources to work with the Connections .



     



    Click on the button to search for the configuration file





    Click finish to import all artifacts


     

    Enter the project name and then click on finish

     



     

    Expand the project name and assembly lines and search for load_photos_from_files.

    Use the right click to copy and then paste the assembly line



    The system ask for a new name




     

    Click on the assembly line to edit


     

    Delete the connector named read_entries. Select feed and clik on Add component




     

    Select Connectos, search for LDAP Connector and set the mode to Iterator.

    Click  finish


     

    Select the LDAP Conenctor an click the connection button.  You need to set the fields according you environment



     

    Click on Input Map and then connect button and see if you can connect to your ldap server





    Click Add button to map attributes. Map uid and jpegPhoto



     

    Delete the scripts Default Success and Default On Error


     

    Click on update_photo and map uid and jpegPhoto


     

    Save and click Run in console button



     

    Check for erros on the console


     

    Go to Connections and verify the profiles. You mus see the pictures
