Teiid Quickstarts

This Quick Start Guide takes you through an introduction to the concepts important to Teiid, downloading the software, building and deploying a virtual database and integrating data sources. The goal is to provide you with examples that help explain how to use to Teiid in order to get you off the ground. It also introduces to some of the essential concepts of Teiid.

Tip	Further Reading - Please read Teiid Documentation to understand different terminologies used, resources needed, and artifacts to be generated before developing a successful application. This example takes advantage of only a minimal set of features in Teiid for the sake of simplicity and time.

Note	Ask Us - Ask us any questions you have on this Quick Start or any other Teiid related questions on Teiid Forums.

Introduction

Quick starts for Teiid.

To contribute a quick start, goto http://github.com/teiid/teiid-quickstarts.

System Requirements

To run these quickstarts with the provided build scripts, you need the following:

1. Java 1.7 or latter, to run {{ book.asName }} and Maven. You can choose from the following:

   • OpenJDK

   • Oracle Java SE

   • Oracle JRockit

2. Maven 3.0.0 or newer, to build and deploy the examples

   • If you have not yet installed Maven, see the Maven Getting Started Guide for details.

   • If you have installed Maven, you can check the version by typing the following in a command line:

mvn --version

1. The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6 distribution ZIP or the {{ book.asName }} distribution ZIP that’s compatible with Teiid.

   • For information on how to install and run {{ book.asName }}, refer to the server documentation.

2. Set JBOSS_HOME to the root directory location of your applicationserver, the scripts use this variable to determine where to deploy to.

Run the Quick Starts

The root folder of each quickstart contains a README file with specific details on how to build and run the example.

Open a command line and navigate to the root directory of the quickstart you want to run.
