Frank Tuttle commented on TEIID-922:
------------------------------------
Struggling too.
I found http://docs.jboss.org/teiid/6.2/quick-start-guide/en-US/html/designer.html was a
little too terse in getting started with Designer.
I'm stuck on point 4 - "Create source model". I've tried various
"import metadata model" type choices including "import metadata from text
file" hoping to load what looks like a metadata text file called
"marketdata-def.txt". This file seems to include what might be required to
describe the "marketdata-price.txt" but none of the import options seem to
reflect this structure.
In an earlier step it seemed odd that configuring a JDBC source from which to import
schema was unable to reuse a JDBC connector which I set up with classpath. Also, the
dialog used to create new JDBC source hides the "..." button that allows you to
specify jars for a classpath until you manually resize the dialog.
Also unclear as if Designer will remain a feature of 7.x releases? One of the many bit of
docs I saw suggested it was being deprecated?
Not the easiest project to start working with currently :(
Teiid Quick Start Example documentation errors
----------------------------------------------
Key: TEIID-922
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-922
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 6.2.0
Environment: Should not matter since this is a documentation issue.
Reporter: David Egts
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
Priority: Minor
Over the holiday slowdown, I was able to partially run through the Teiid Quick Start
Example [1] to get up to speed on Teiid. Good stuff!
[1] http://docs.jboss.org/teiid/6.2/quick-start-guide/en-US/html/index.html
I did notice however that the doc has some possibly outdated links and I got stuck part
way due to lack of detail when combined with my relative newness to Eclipse.
This is what I saw so far...
- References to the downloads.
*** Artifact names in Chapter 1 [2] don't match the names on the download page [3].
[2] http://docs.jboss.org/teiid/6.2/quick-start-guide/en-US/html/download.html
[3] http://www.jboss.org/teiid/downloads.html
*** The download links in the doc for Teiid and later for Designer point to broken links
[4] which reroute back to the main Teiid page. This leaves the reader to drill down on
the Download link as opposed to going directly there [5]. No biggie, but I figure I'd
mention it.
[4] http://teiid.org/Download.html
[5] http://www.jboss.org/teiid/downloads.html
- The Teiid family only comes as a zip files, but the doc references tar archives too.
Again, no biggie, but I figure I'd mention it.
- Section 4.2 [6] says "There is a video at the end of the list that will take you
though all the steps involved." I don't see a video there.
[6] http://docs.jboss.org/teiid/6.2/quick-start-guide/en-US/html/designer.htm...
- At this point, I get to step 3 and I'm stuck due to lack of detail when combined
with my relative newness to Eclipse. Any pointers? Possibly the missing video mentioned
above would add the needed detail. The "File->New..." guidance was very
helpful in steps 1 and 2. Replicating that on the other steps would be a huge help.
I did post this to
http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/teiid-users/2010-January/thread.html#66, and Ramesh asked
me to submit this JIRA.
THANK YOU for putting this together!
