Creating user projects in System Manager

System Manager user projects specify the integration components that will be used for some particular purpose, such as a specific interaction pattern. After you have created System Manager user projects and populated them with integration components, you can deploy the user projects to the Business Integration perspective, for use in the creation of WebSphere Application Server Enterprise Application Archive projects.

User projects are created within the System Manager perspective, using the New User Project dialog. To create a user project, open the System Manager perspective, and do the following:

  1. Under the User Projects folder, select and right-click on WAS Projects.
  2. In the pop-up menu, select New User Project. The New User Project dialog appears. In the Project name field, enter a name that you want to use for the user project.

    If the dialog contains a prompt to Select the type of User Project to create, choose WebSphere Application Server Project. (Depending on the configuration of your installation of WebSphere Business Integration adapters, WebSphere Application Server Project may be the only choice available.) The Available Integration Component Libraries field shows folders for any integration component libraries that you have created, and includes check boxes for both the libraries and the individual integration components that they contain. Expand the folders and check the boxes for all the components that you want to make available in the user project that you are creating. Choose Finish. (If you have not yet created any integration component libraries, none will be displayed. However, you can still create the user project at this time. At a later time you can right-click the user project that you have created and choose Update project to add any new integration component libraries that you have created.)

    Note:
    You can also access the New User Project dialog through the Business Integration perspective by choosing New>Project>WebSphere Business Integration>User Project. When the new user project is created, the System Manager perspective is opened automatically; the new user project is created in the System Manager perspective. That does not change the other procedures for this task.
  3. The User Project is created and appears under the WAS Projects folder in the System Manager perspective.
