Develop a Custom Data Source

Developers can create custom data sources and make them available to data modelers and users, for data providers that do not have a built-in data source.

A custom data source is a .NET assembly that can be developed using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. Developers can also create custom data sources for data providers that only have JDBC drivers and data providers that can be accessed using JavaScript.

Below you can find instructions and demos on how to develop all three types of custom data sources.

Develop a .NET Custom Data Source Choose this if the database you want to connect to has a native .NET driver.

Develop a JDBC Custom Source Choose this if the database has a JDBC driver only.

Develop a JavaScript Custom Data Source Choose this if you want to create a custom JavaScript data source to access Web APIs by writing snippets of JavaScript

After creating the custom data source, the developer should publish and send the custom data source package to the Wyn Server administrator for deployment. Data Modelers can then create Wyn data sources using the custom data source.
