| | [[Category:AppBoard 2.4]] |
| | Third Party Data Adapters provide access to specific 3rd party applications. This is typically to provide better support, or any support in cases where the more generic data adapters cannot be used such as the database adapters or web service adapters. |
|
| |
|
| Third Party Data Adapters provide some pre-configured options for loading data from certain popular data sources. This page details the options available for each of the Third Party Data Adapters.
| | The following list of third party adapters are available within AppBoard: |
|
| |
|
| | | * [[appboard/2.4/builder/data_sources/third_party/hp_nnmi|HP Network Node Manager (NNMi)]] |
| ==HP NNMi==
| | * [[appboard/2.4/builder/data_sources/third_party/omnibus|IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus]] |
| | | * [[appboard/2.4/builder/data_sources/third_party/servicenow|ServiceNow]] |
| The HP NNMi adapter retrieves information about nodes and incidents from the HP Network Node Manager (NNMi) application.
| |
| | |
| | |

| |
| |'''connectTimeout'''
| |
| |Time (in seconds) after a timeout occurs to wait before attempting to re-establish the connection. Setting this value too low can impact the performance of the system.

| |'''url'''
| |
| |The JDBC connection string/URL for defining the connection. This typically contains information about the database server and name, the user id, a password for connecting to the database, and an Oracle SID at the end which uniquely identifies the name of a particular database to connect to. Example: <tt>jdbc:mysql://myservername:3306/mydbname</tt>. The default connection string provided when you create the JDBC/Oracle adapter Data Source in AppBoard is the following: <tt>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:portal</tt>. Note that the sample URL string contains an Oracle SID at the end ("portal"), which uniquely identifies the name of a particular database to connect to. It is recommended that you make sure the connection string includes this SID so the connection can be made between AppBoard and the database. You may need to ask the database or application administrator to provide the Oracle SID for the database. Example Oracle URL: <tt>jdbc:oracle:thin:@servername:1521:OracleSID</tt>
