  7. Configure the resource connection properties.
  8. If you create a resource from an application that is deployed to a Data Integration Service, click
    Test Connection
     to test the connection to the Data Integration Service.
    If Metadata Manager cannot connect to the Data Integration Service, an error message appears. Correct the error, and test the connection again.
  9. Click
    Next
    .
  10. If you create a resource from an application that is deployed to a Data Integration Service, the
    Parameters
     window appears.
    The
    Parameters
     window displays all of the applications that are deployed to the Data Integration Service.
    Select the applications that you want to include in the resource, and click
    Next
    .
  11. If you create a resource from a version 10.x application that is deployed to a Data Integration Service, the
    Parameter Set Assignment
     window appears.
    The
    Parameter Set Assignment
     window displays the parameter sets in each selected application. For version 10.0 and 10.1 applications, you can assign a parameter set to one or more mappings. For version 10.1.1 applications, you can assign a parameter set to one or more mappings and workflows.
    If you assign a parameter set to a mapping, Metadata Manager extracts metadata for the mapping based on the parameter values defined in the parameter set. If you assign a parameter set to a workflow, Metadata Manager extracts metadata for all mappings within the workflow based on the parameter values defined in the parameter set. If you do not assign a parameter set and the mapping uses parameters, Metadata Manager extracts metadata for the mapping based on the parameter default values.
    To assign a parameter set:
    1. In the
      Applications
       list, select the application that contains the parameter set that you want to assign to one or more mappings.
    2. In the
      Parameter Set Assignment
       list, select the parameter set.
    3. In the
      Mappings and Workflows
       list, select the mappings and workflows to which you want to assign the parameter set, and click
      Assign
      . To assign the parameter set to all mappings and workflows, click
      Assign to all
      .
      Metadata Manager lists the parameter set assignments at the bottom of the
      Parameter Set Assignment
       window.
      To remove a parameter set assignment, click
      X
       next to the parameter set assignment that you want to remove.
      When you finish the parameter set assignment, click
      Next
      .
  12. The
    Schedules
     window appears. To add a schedule, select
    Attach a Schedule
    , and select a schedule in the
    Schedule
     list.
    If you have not created a schedule, you can assign a schedule to a resource after you create the resource.
  13. Click
    Finish
    .
The resource appears in the Resources panel on the
Load
 tab.
