Watson Query
Managers and Engineers can use automated discovery to
streamline the process of accessing remote data sources.
Before you begin
To access data that is stored in
remote data sources in Watson Query, you must install a remote connector. Additionally, you
must ensure that databases are using the standard ports for each database type.
Procedure
To search remote data sources, follow these steps.
-
Click .
-
On the Data sources page, click .
You can see a list of hosts and their associated data sources.
- Optional: Discover data sources by scanning another host.
You can
find data sources that are using standard ports only.
Important: Contact your network administrator to ensure that scanning hosts for running services does not
breach any IT policies of your organization.
- Click the action menu on remote connector that you want to scan and click
Search data sources via another host.
- Specify the name of the host that you want to scan and click
Search.
Expand a remote connector to see the list of remote
data sources that you can use in Watson Query. You can now virtualize data on these remote
data sources.
Results
You can now virtualize data on the remote data sources.
