- Accessing product
Accessing product version 4.6.6.5. We will proceed to access the PIS (Product Information System). Upon accessing the PIS without prior authentication, only the Horizontal Manager menu is available. Within this menu, it is noteworthy that a significant portion of functionalities remains inactive.
The available functionalities are limited to: the Login button, facilitating access to the tool's interface; the Schema button, intended for the registration of new metadata entries; the Exit button, enabling termination of the tool's session; and the Default Theme button, allowing customization of the interface's default color scheme. Subsequently, we shall proceed to access the Manager Login interface.
It is imperative to ensure the utilization of metadata configurations established in previous instructional materials. Subsequently, user credentials shall be provided to authenticate access. Once authenticated, access to the tool's functionalities shall be granted.
At this juncture, the horizontal menu interface presents five principal options. The Manager interface facilitates the management of PIS and its associated environments. The Drivers section enables connection to various driver configurations.
Data Container functionality permits the association of containers to drivers and facilitates their creation. Similarly, the Transfers feature is accessible for the coordination of data transfer processes. Notably, within the horizontal menu, distinct "boxes" establish connections between data sources and destinations. Furthermore, the Flow interface orchestrates the execution of data transfers, along with the registration of associated web services.
Upon selection of the Manager option, an array of functionalities is unveiled, each of which shall be explored in greater depth as the instructional course progresses. The Drivers section showcases available driver configurations, tailored according to the active license.
Furthermore, the Data Containers section presents existing container configurations, aligned with all drivers previously established. Similarly, the Transfers section presents a comprehensive array of data transfer options.
Lastly, the Flow interface offers two primary functionalities: the sequential arrangement of data transfers and the creation of a web services catalog. Additionally, a locking mechanism is available on the right-hand side of the interface, affording users the ability to secure the menu interface, thereby expediting navigation within the tool.
Of additional note is the Help functionality, which primarily comprises an "About" section, providing essential details such as version information and other pertinent product-related insights.
