Chapter 1. Download

You need to download the binaries for Teiid . Note that there are three different artifacts are available for download.

Teiid Source - contains all of the source code
Teiid AdminShell - contains the admin client
Teiid Runtime - contains the Teiid engine and required 3rd party dependencies

For this Quick Start, download and install JBoss AS 5.1.0. Then download the Teiid runtime and unzip the contents under any of the JBoss AS profiles, such as "default" or "all". The default profile is the typical installation location, for example "<jboss-install>/server/default". The Teiid runtime directory structure matches JBoss profiles directly - it is just an overlay.

In the "<jboss-install>/server/<profile>/lib" directory, you will find "teiid-7.7-client.jar", which is the main client binary jar file for Teiid. This jar file contains the Teiid's JDBC driver and data source driver jar's.

Note

JBoss AS 5.1 requires Java 6 to run.

Access to physical data sources such as Oracle, MS-SQL Server, DB2, and Sybase through Teiid relies upon the user supplying their own JDBC drivers in the deployment. Copy the JDBC driver files into "<jboss-install>/server/<profile>/lib" before you create any data sources.
