New to SDI / TDI?

This site was born in early 2000. Most examples, how-to's and other materials are relevant for versions 7.1 and 7.2. Later versions, i.e. 10, is a containerization of 7.2 functionality.

Quick note about the Integrator Community. We are trying to breath life into the community again, now that Google Forum was destroyed by spam. There is a Discord server set up for our conversations, and it offers Voice Channels for doing calls with screensharing. Here is your invitation: Welcome to the Integrator Community Server. I (Eddie) am planning to set up a semi-weekly call where I and other experts will be present to help with challenges and answer questions. In order to do this, you must join the community server and then share your email address with me (address: eddiehartman at the googly postal service). And let me know what weekdays/times do not work for you.

And now on to general information:

For a quick hands-on start, spend a couple of hours on the Getting Started Guide. There are also video tutorials, like this beginner lesson split into Part 1 and Part 2. You also have the Tutorial videos and the TDI Launchpad page which covers installation tips,

Community resources are a great asset. For enlightenment, try the IBM Security Community Forum or the Integrator Community on Discord. There is a wealth of information in the old Google Forum, and lthough it has been abandoned due to spam, the search feature still works just fine.

Finally, there is a Reddit substack.

Versions

The latest version of SDI is 10, although as mentioned above, documentation, videos, examples and tutorials for versions 7.* are still relevant. Even most for 6.*, although the UI looks even funkier.

Here is the official list of recommended fixes for all versions of TDI/SDI. Be sure to have the latest FP. And to update the JVM that TDI users to at least 8.

Note: each fixpack (FP) also includes previous ones, so all you need is the latest. This not the case for Interim Fixes (IF).
