Connector installation

This section describes the tasks you must perform to install the connector and its associated business objects. Refer to "Adapter environment" for software prerequisites and compatibility.

After you have installed all prerequisite software on the machine, you can install the connector and the business objects.

For complete instructions on installing the adapter (which includes the connector and business objects), refer to the Installation Guide for WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, located in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Infocenter at the following web site:

http://www.ibm.com/websphere/integration/wbiadapters/infocenter

The following table describes the files that are installed with the connector. In the table, ProductDir represents the directory in which you have installed the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter software.

Installing business objects

The adapter provides a number of sample business objects that you can use when developing your own business objects. To access the sample business objects, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the ProductDir\repository\Exchange\2000 directory.
  2. Use the Connector Configurator to open the .in files and save them to your broker repository.
  3. Ensure that the connector configuration property RepositoryDirectory specifies the directory in which you just placed the sample business objects.
