Security nomenclature
by Steven Hawkins
Hello all,
We should ensure that we have similar names for security concepts in Teiid/Designer/Docs. Here's where we are coming from:
MetaMatirx pre-5.5
entitlements - general term for applying CRUD permissions to a VDB.
entitlement - a named set of permissions and principles
data-policy - internal name for the permission collection of an entitlement. Internally these were referenced as policies in a system that resembled JAAS.
permission - an action and target
principle - a user or group identified by a unique name.
MetaMatrix 5.5
data roles - general term for applying CRUD permissions to a VDB, although the term "entitlements" was still in use in many places.
data role - a named set of permissions and groups - note that this was a restriction of the possible principles to only groups.
permission - same as before
Teiid Current
same as 5.5.
Moving forward I would propose purging the terms entitlement/entitlements. We should also correct the vdb-deployer.xsd so that data-policy becomes data-role. Optionally we could also consider converting the permission element children to attributes to condense the information a little. These would be a breaking changes, but should be done before the Designer feature is in place.

XA Connections
by Ramesh Reddy
A community member is having difficulty in creating a XA data source.
Does Designer allows to create XA data source for the relational
sources?
http://community.jboss.org/message/556479#556479
If not, can this be done? Teiid Admin api provides, "template" for
creating the XA data sources too.

Teiid Designer 7.1 M1 available
by Barry Lafond
Teiid Designer 7.1 M1 is ready for download . It's been an adventure restoring the Preview Data Feature but it's finally ready for some testing. Also new in this release is the DDL to Relational Model importer and a Web Service War file generator.
Don't forget the Quick Start Guide to help you install, set up your AS & Teiid and perform some basic modeling and VDB management.
Then, s elect a Relational Table in the Model Explorer and right-click select " Modeling > Preview Data " action.
The r esults of a sample query should be displayed in a SQL Results view.
- You will need to select the combo box dropdown menu (little triangle) and open the " Filters " dialog, then check the " Display results of unresolvable connection profiles ". - We also recommend that you select the " Display result in single tab " tool-bar action or else you'll need to select the "Result1" tab after each preview query.
Thx to the team for hanging in there and doing the grunt work. On the surface this feature has a small footprint, but underneath the hood, it wasn't so small. Nice job.
