Jörg, a datasource in the IPT sense is twofold: first you need to configure your db connection, then you add any number of "datasources" which are SQL select statements basically creating a view on your data. You can configure several views as needed, most likely one for each darwin core extension you want to use. I have just tried this and saw that once you enter the db connection parameters you are redirected to a non existng page. The conenction is saved though, so you can try to setup the views. markus On Mar 12, 2009, at 11:02, Holetschek, Jörg wrote:

Hi Markus and Tim,

I've just connected the IPT to our mySQL server. On the "property mappings" page there's a hint "There are no data sources configured. Please define at least one source first."

What am I supposed to do? Isn't the mySQL database connection (jdbc:mysql://192.168.2.10/pontaurus) the data source?
