Before writing any code to create an IP, you should test basic OpenAccess SDK operations. Testing uses an OpenAccess SDK Client to connect to a default data source and issue test queries.
The installation sets up a server data source called Default.
If you are using the OpenAccess SDK SQL engine, the Default server data source is configured with one of the following services:
- OpenAccessSDK810_C
- OpenAccessSDK810_Java
- OpenAccessSDK810_NET
The Default server data source is configured to access CSV files that contain tables EMP, DEPT, and DIVISION. The CSV files are part of the SDK installation. The SDK also includes samples that can be used for experimenting, or as a starting point for creating a new IP. See the language-specific OpenAccess SDK Reference for information on building and configuring these examples.
If you are using a third-party SQL engine, the Default server data source is used with one of the following services:
- The OpenAccessSDK810_C_SQL service is partially set up to access a SQL data source through an ODBC driver.
- The OpenAccessSDK810_Java_SQL service is partially set up to access a SQL data source through a JDBC driver.
See the language-specific OpenAccess SDK Reference for information on building and configuring these examples.
See the appropriate client installation section for information about testing an OpenAccess SDK Client against an OpenAccess SDK Server and IP SDK installation:
