    Hi Jagadeesh, 

     

    TDM does not currently support Mongo DB as a data source. You can see our supported data sources here: https://docops.ca.com/ca-test-data-manager/4-3/en/installing/supported-data-sources 

     

    If you would like this to be supported, please submit an 'Idea' in the TDM community. 

     

    Best regards,

    Taylor

    My team is currently working on a model that utilizes Mongo DB as a repository for the data that we create using standard TDM synthetic record insert.  The general flow would be

    1) insert record into various supported DBs (DB2 and Oracle are our primary targets depending on where in the stack) utilizing TDM

    2) scrape details of the records and automate process to insert results into Mongo DB object.

    3) Run synchronizer task to verify that records across stack have not changed

    4) Utilize Mongo DB as data warehouse for API response

     

    We are building out this concept currently.  Let me know if you'd like to know more about it!

    Thanks Adam, Good to know we have process to connect TDM with Mongo DB. Currently, We have TDM running on Oracle DB. So, all the table objects and should be converted with JSON format.

    So that, insert/update can be performed on Mongo DB.

     

    Would you please share some more light on how the integration works like, I have below specific question....  I have potential use case to start on implementation. Answers to this below question would help me

    1. Data is generated in Oracle -> How we move seamlessly back to Mongo DB.

    2. PII Data is present in Mongo DB -> How do we seamlessly perform masking on Mongo DB.

    Hello, 

    This response to your post is a bit late, but can you provide more details to the framework you built working on MongoDB?

    Hi Jaimini,

    MongoDB support is on the roadmap, but I'm not sure when it will be
    included. All I know is it will be after the 4.10 release. There is a
    possible workaround that the Solutions Engineering team has put together
    for data generation and masking related to MongoDB. See
    https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleId=236060

    Regards,
    Brad
