Description

Scenario:

A password for a datasource connection needs to be programmatically updated by making a soap call to the TIBCO Data Virtualization (TDV) service, without using the TDV Studio UI tool.  Typically a call would be made to the TDV admin api web service operations seen under /services/webservices/system/admin



 

Resolution

For example, by using a SoapUI client tool, this would be a soap request made to TDV, that would then update the password for the 'ds_orders' datasource that is provided under /shared/examples in the Studio resources tree. 
Optionally, this soap envelope also updates the datasource's annotation to become "this is my new annotation", to serve as a helpful visual cue that the datasource was actually updated.
  
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:res="http://www.compositesw.com/services/system/admin/resource" xmlns:com="http://www.compositesw.com/services/system/util/common">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <resource:updateDataSource xmlns:resource="http://www.compositesw.com/services/system/admin/resource" xmlns:common="http://www.compositesw.com/services/system/util/common">

<resource:detail>SIMPLE</resource:detail>
  <resource:annotation>this is my new anotation</resource:annotation>
