Chapter 7. Deploying the virtual database

Procedure

1. Open a terminal window to the 01-base-example directory in your local Teiid-Openshift-Examples respository, which contains the porfolio.yaml files.
2. If you have not yet done so, open the file in a text editor and add the API key for the stock quote service in the Schema:Portfolio section. For more information, see the example in Section 6.1.2.6, “Virtual schema definition”

3. Type the following command:

   oc create -f portfolio.yaml

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   The command returns the following response:

   virtualdatabase.teiid.io/portfolio created

   At this stage, the virtual database is created, but it’s not yet running.

   The initial deployment can take five or more minutes. The first time that you use the Operator to deploy a virtual database in a project, the Operator must build a base image, which takes extra time. Subsequent deployments take less time, because the base image that you create is reused.

4. Run the following command to check the build status:

   oc get vdb portfolio -o yaml | grep phase

   The build process runs through several phases. When you check the status, you might see any of the following responses:

   phase: Ready For S2I
   
   phase: Building Base Builder Image
   
   phase: Building Service Image
   
   phase: Deploying
   
   phase: Running
