You can retrieve data from external databases using a combination of federated plug-ins and federated classes. You must first define a federated plug-in and then define a class that can retrieve data through the plug-in.
Retrieving external data from databases and displaying it as a part of CMDB involves the following high-level steps:
The following topics explain the process of retrieving external data in databases using federated classes:
| Task or concept | Reference |
|---|---|
| Before you create federated classes, you must first define plug-ins that can connect with the database containing federated data. | Creating AR or JDBC federated data plug-ins to access data external to the CMDB |
| Retrieve information from external sources of data through plug-ins by creating federated classes and then viewing the data in Explorer. | Retrieving federated data stored externally by creating federated classes |
