Connector framework service
The Connector Framework Service (CFS) allows secure indexing of documents from IDOL to the OpenText™ Analytics Database. Access control lists determine which users have permissions to access documents. Documents transferred from IDOL are stored in a flex table (Flex tables).
Important
OpenText™ Analytics Database 9.1.1 does not support the IdolLib function library. If you have the IdolLib function library installed and are upgrading to version 9.1.1, you see an error and you cannot access the IdolLib function library.
To determine if the IdolLib library is installed, run the following script:
$ /opt/vertica/packages/idol/ddl/isinstalled.sql
To uninstall the IdolLib library, run the following script:
$ /opt/vertica/packages/idol/ddl/uninstall.sql
CFS components
Use the following CFS components to implement the service on the database:
-
IDOL document metadata
-
CFS Configuration file
For detailed information, see Implementing CFS.
IDOL document metadata
The database stores IDOL document metadata in a flex table. Set the name of the flex table with the TableName parameter in the CFS configuration file (see Implementing CFS). The metadata includes the following:
-
AUTONOMYMETADATA (Mandatory): An alphanumeric designation for the ACL designated for the document.
-
DREFIELD: Assigns permission levels to users and groups for accessing IDOL documents.
-
DRETITLE: The document title.
CFS configuration file
You must index IDOL metadata in the database to be available for queries. See Implementing CFS.
