Data Source Profile

A data source profile defines the active mapping from data functions to data sources. When an Oracle Transportation Management subsystem needs to retrieve a data source, it queries the data source profile with its associated data function. At most, one data source matches a particular function for the profile. If no data source is found, Oracle Transportation Management uses the default data source profile from glog.properties.

The active data source profile is determined by the current user role. You can define different user roles to represent:

• normal Oracle Transportation Management access to the primary database.
• Oracle RDBMS tracing on the primary database.
• thick driver access for database scaling.
• access to the secondary ODS database.

By switching your active user role, you can switch between data sources from one screen to the next.
