Testing data source configurations from the Hybrid Data Pipeline dashboard
To test whether your data source definition and schema map are configured correctly:
1. In the left navigation pane, select Data Sources to open your list of data sources.
2. Select the OData-enabled data source definition, and click the OData URI icon at the end of the row.
3. Enter your Hybrid Data Pipeline credentials.
The browser returns an XML document listing the entities in the schema.
Testing data source configurations using a REST client
Take the following steps to test a data source configuration using a REST client. In this example, Postman is used as the REST client.
1. Using the controls exposed by the REST client, select basic authorization and enter your Hybrid Data Pipeline credentials.
2. If credentials for your data store are not saved in the data source definition, pass them as values for ddcloud-datasource-user and ddcloud-datasource-password headers.
3. From the OData tab of the data source you are testing, copy the OData Access URI. Then paste the URI in the URL field of the REST client.
4. Execute a GET on the data source endpoint. For example:
GET https://service.myserver.com/api/odata/db2ds
The response payload returns a list of entities exposed by the OData schema map.
