OLE DB data source
You can use the OLE DB data source template to create a synthetic transaction to monitor the
performance and availability of any database, not just those running Microsoft's SQL Server,
that you can establish a connection to through OLE DB. It's possible to create this synthetic
transaction even when the computer that hosts the database does not have an Operations
Manager agent installed.
To create a synthetic transaction using the OLE DB Data Source Wizard, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. Under Management Pack Templates, in the Authoring workspace of the Operations

Manager console, click OLE DB Data Source, and click Add Monitoring Wizard on the
ribbon.

On the Monitoring Type page, select OLE DB Data Source, as shown in Figure 2-44,
and click Next.
