Setting connection properties

After you have created the adapter project, you need to initialize the enterprise service discovery wizard for the Adapter for JDBC and set the values of the connection properties for your database instance.

Steps for this task

  1. Initialize enterprise service discovery

    In WebSphere Integration Developer, switch to the Business Integration perspective. At the Business Integration tab that contains the JDBC connector project, which is highlighted, right click in that pane. In the pop-up menu select New > Enterprise Service Discovery.

    In the Select an Enterprise Service Resource Adapter window, select the option for your adapter and click Next. If you had not already imported the RAR file, you could click Import Resource Adapter in this window to import it.

  2. Set values of connection properties

    You need to set the values of the Metadata discovery connection properties used to connect to the target EIS instance for discovery and for creating the service description. If you want to enable bidirectional script data processing, you need to activate bidirectional transformation and set values for the bidirectional properties.

    In the Configure Settings for Discovery Agent window, which follows, type the values for the connection configuration properties. For details on these properties, see "Metadata discovery connection properties" in the "Reference" section.

    To activate bidirectional capability, select the check box next to BiDi Transformation. Then set the values for the bidirectional properties. For details on these properties, see "Bidirectional connection properties" in the "Reference" section.

    This image is described in the surrounding text.

  3. Select logging options

    If you click Show Advanced, the Logging options appear. Logging options are used to set up logging and tracing for the enterprise service discovery process only. However, the logging and tracing levels are the same as for the adapter. For details on logging and tracing levels for the adapter, see "Enabling Logging" and "Enabling Tracing."

    Under Logging options, enter or browse for the output location of the log file. Select the logging and tracing levels for enterprise service discovery. Click Next.

What to do next

The discovery service uses the connection properties to prepare a metadata tree that is displayed for object selection and navigation.
