Chapter 3
Configuring Data Lookup
Introduction
This chapter describes the configuration steps that are necessary in order to make
Business Interaction Server perform a data lookup. Business Interaction Server can be
connected to the following databases:
„
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005
„
Microsoft Access 2003 and 2007
„
MySQL 5.0 and 5.1 Community Editions
„
PostgreSQL 8.2
Note
Your Business Interaction Server setup includes a Microsoft Access sample
database and scripts to create sample data for Microsoft SQL, MySQL and
PostgreSQL.
Additionally, data lookup is also possible in the following LDAP implementations:
„
OpenLDAP
„
Active Directory Service
Data lookup is necessary whenever a business process is disrupted due to missing
data. If, for example, an incoming document contains only the customer number,
Business Interaction Server will browse through the selected customer database and
find other essential information like name, address, and fax number.
If you are using more than one database or LDAP implementation, you can configure
data lookup in all the above mentioned data sources. Data lookup is possible only in
one data source at a time, but Business Interaction Server stores the individual
configurations so you can switch between the data sources without losing any
configuration data.
