Teiid 8.0.alpha1 - JBoss AS7 based Teiid

By
Teiid Team is proud to announce the availability of Teiid 8.0-alpha1 release. This is the first release of Teiid that is based on JBoss AS 7 as host environment. It is also start of the next major revision for Teiid and departure from Teiid 7.x releases. There will not be any more 7.x based releases. There is still lot more work to do for 8.0 Final release, this is our effort to get the community involved early on and weed out any possible regressions.

There are many things changed with respect to AS7, as it completely re-written and entirely different from JBoss 5.x and 6.x releases. For details please see the AS7 documentation. That means there are numerous changes tricked down for Teiid too. I will list some issues to look out for

  • All the deprecated features from the 7.x release have been removed.
  • AS7 provides completely new way of configuration. Teiid utilizes this new configuration mechanism. Fully Supports CLI based administration.
  • Deployment of artifacts such as vdbs and data sources is different from 7.x releases
  • Class loading in AS7 is modularized, that means no more copying of your jdbc jar files into "lib" directory and expect to work. 
  • We are in process of updating the documents to reflect changes (we have done some).
  • Dynamic VDB is not working yet. It will be fixed before final (AS7-1920)
  • Designer is not yet available for 8.0.0.alpha1 release, however you can still use the older Designer to build the VDB. The preview functionality will not work with new server yet. (This will be coming soon..)
  • No "admin-console" application available yet for Teiid. If you can contribute for this please talk to us. We are looking for developers with GWT experience.
If you have VDBs from previous release, they work as is, if you were not using any deprecated features. There is a change as to how you deploy the VDB and how you create the data sources to be used by the VDB. There is absolutely no change in how you access the data, that is JDBC interface.

Excited? if you want to take it for test drive,
  1. Download the AS7-CR1 release and install it by unzipping it
  2. Download the Teiid 8.0.alpha1 and overly the zip file on AS7 install directory
Then start the Teiid in "standalone" mode

${as7-install}/bin/standalone.sh --server-config=standalone-teiid.xml

to start in the "domain" mode

${as7-install}/bin/domain.sh -c domain-teiid.xml --host-config=host-teiid.xml

Surprised? What was your boot time? This is just a beginning. We plan to write couple blogs during this 8.0 release that introduces to all advantages of the new AS7 + Teiid 8.0 platform. Stay tuned.


Thank you.

The Teiid Team.

Teiid Spring Boot 1.7.0 Released

By
Teiid Spring Boot version 1.7.0 to support Teiid 16.0 has been released. This release is mainly to support the Teiid's latest version.  In this release, the support for OpenAPI code generation based on VDB has been removed as there is no community interest and moreover it was at OpenAPI 2.0, and the industry has moved to 3.0 and beyond. There are no plans to further pursue this feature. VDB maven plugin was also removed, which was intended to be a replacement for the VDB importing feature was to be used when working on OpenShift, however, since it requires the Maven repository and does not completely represent the feature as defined on the WildFly based deployments this is also removed. You can still use the VDB import feature with Teiid Spring Boot, simply define the VDB with your "IMPORT DATABASE" statements and provide the additional files along with the main VDB file. During the start of the application, Teiid Spring Boot will load all the necessary DDL files for the

Expose Excel Data as OData feed using Teiid

By
For that matter you can expose any data source that is supported by Teiid through its translators as OData service. You can convert Relational databases XML, JSON, CSV files Web Services  Sales Force Excel documents sources, or write your on top of your specific source. Teiid added support for exposing its virtual database (VDB) as OData service without any additional work. Create a virtual database with your required sources and create any additional views and deploy in the the JBoss EAP 6.1 server, that has Teiid 8.3 or greater installed.  See https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/teiid84final/OData+Support  for more information. So, lets build a simple example of exposing the Excel Sheet. Teiid accesses Excel sheets via JDBC-ODBC bridge, and Windows OS provides a ODBC driver for Excel documents.  Edit the standalone-teiid.xml, and create Connection Factory jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};Dbq=c:\ODBC\ExcelData.xls odbc
