HP Structured Records Management Solution Tutorial 17
3 Creating an archive definition
This structured records management tutorial is based upon the same data model
used in the general HP Database Archiving tutorial in Tutorial: Designing and
deploying archive modules. This chapter walks you through the process of
importing the solution project for the general tutorial. In subsequent chapters, you
will modify this project for the structured records management case.
This chapter includes: • Importing an existing project (page 17)
• Creating a connection to the HP TRIM database (page 18)
• Summary and next steps (page 20)
Importing an existing project
The general tutorial solution project shipped with HP Database Archiving
contains the data model you need for this structured records management tutorial.
Rather than recreating the model from scratch, you can simply import that
existing project.
To import the tutorial solution project:
TIP If you successfully built the tutorial project yourself as described in Tutorial:
Designing and deploying archive modules, you can simply open that project and
skip to Chapter 4, Creating a cartridge.
1 Launch Designer.
— On MS Windows, from the Start menu, open Designer by selecting
HP
Database Archiving > Designer
.
— On Linux, use the designer desktop link, if you opted to create the links at
install time. Otherwise, navigate to <install dir>
/obt/bin and type:
./designer.sh
When you start Designer for the very first time, you are automatically
prompted to create a new project.
The first field is the project Name. The second field is the Database
connection used to get the table definitions.
TIP If you are not prompted to create a new project, select File > New Project.
Or, you can click the New Project icon.
