Before you start the development process, the following must be
true:
The WebSphere business integration system is installed on a
computer that you can access.
For information on how to install and start up the WebSphere
business integration system, refer to the appropriate guide as
suggested below:
If the integration broker is InterChange Server running on
Windows, see the System Installation Guide for
Windows.
If the integration broker is InterChange Server running on
UNIX, see the System Installation Guide for UNIX.
If the integration broker is WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker,
see the Implementation Guide for WebSphere MQ Integrator
Broker.
If your broker is InterChange Server, the broker and its
repository's database server
are running. This step is required only when you are ready to save
the definition to the repository or to delete a definition from the
repository. For development only, you can run Business Object
Designer locally, without connecting to InterChange Server.
If you plan to generate a business object definition using an
Object Discovery Agent, you must have started the Object Activation
Daemon (OAD) before you use this ODA to generate business object
definitions. For more information, see Before using an ODA.
