A source initiates a flow when a specified condition is met. You can configure one of these input sources to use with Teradata Connector:
- Teradata > On Table Row + Initiates a flow by selecting from a table at a regular interval and generates one message per obtained row
- HTTP > Listener + Initiates a flow each time it receives a request on the configured host and port
- Scheduler + Initiates a flow when a time-based condition is met
For example, to configure an On Table Row source, follow these steps:
In the Mule Palette view, select Teradata > On Table Row. - Drag On Table Row to the Studio canvas. - In the On Table Row configuration screen, optionally change the value of the Display Name field. - Click the plus sign (+) next to the Connector configuration field to configure a global element that can be used by all instances of the source in the app. - In the Teradata Config window, on the General tab, specify the database connection information for the connector. - On the Transactions tab, optionally specify the transaction isolation, or XA transactions, when connecting to the database. - On the Advanced tab, optionally specify connection pooling and reconnection information, including a reconnection strategy. - Click Test Connection to confirm that Mule can connect with the specified database. - Click OK to close the window. - In the On Table Row configuration screen, in Table, specify the name of the table to select from.
