Understanding the Layout and User Interface

This section provides an overview of the iWay Big Data Integrator (iBDI) perspective.

The iBDI perspective is divided into four main areas, as shown in the following image.

  1. Data Source Explorer, allows you to connect to a data source in iBDI (for example, Hive and PostgreSQL). You can also manage all of your data connections from this pane.
  2. Project Explorer, allows you to create, manage, and deploy your projects in iBDI.
  3. Workspace, represents the main working area in iBDI where you can build pipelines and view selected project components in more detail.

  5. Console tab, allows you to view the output of a selected job.
  6. Problems tab, allows you to view issues and selected resolutions.
  7. Error Log tab, allows you to view any job errors or build problems that may occur.
