After you install the WebSphere® Adapter for SAP Software,
you must deploy it. Deployment consists of creating a project, adding external
dependencies to that project, configuring the service, and then deploying
the application to start on WebSphere Process Server.
The adapter is distributed as a Resource Adapter Archive (RAR) file.
- You install the adapter into WebSphere Integration Developer by importing the RAR file.
- Once the adapter has been installed, you generate an Enterprise Application
Archive (EAR) file.
- The EAR file is then deployed to WebSphere Process Server using the
administrative console.
Note that, while WebSphere Integration Developer only runs on Windows
® or Linux
®, WebSphere Process
Server runs on Windows, Linux and UNIX
® platforms.
In principle, deploying the adapter is the same as deploying any other
component on WebSphere Process
Server. For more information on deploying components on WebSphere Process
Server, see the WebSphere Integration Developer documentation.
