For Trillium to connect to your data, the repository administrator must set up at least one loader connection for each type of data source that you intend to work with. In addition to defining the type of data source, the loader connection defines the directories in which the source data files and schema files are located.
If you have data files on your client system, you can load and work with these files directly in the Control Center without needing a loader connection. See Creating an Entity from the Client.
Trillium can import or link to the following data source types:
| Data Source Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Delimited files | Delimited text files and comma-separated value (CSV) files
|
| COBOL copybook |
Flat, fixed-length files described by COBOL copybooks
|
| Relational data |
Relational data stored in a relational database management system (RDBMS) application. Trillium can import or link using:
|
| TSQ files | File generated by the Trillium application |
The procedures for setting up loader connections are documented in the Repository Administrator's Guide. Check with your repository administrator to verify that the appropriate connections exist for the data you want to use.
