Deploying and configuring for Scenario 1 (ALE outbound)

Scenario 1 of the ALE outbound sample application provides a configured instance of the adapter and all the necessary SCA artifacts, so you are not required to deploy the package and configure the adapter. Simply import the .EAR file to your WebSphere® Integration Developer workspace using WebSphere Integration Developer.

Why and when to perform this task

After you uncompress the nonemdsample.zip file, perform the following steps to extract the contents of CustomerMasterIDocApp.ear and to import the RAR file.

Steps for this task

  1. Uncompress the file CustomerMasterIDocApp.ear to a directory of your choice. The CWYAP_SAPAdapter.rar file and various JAR files are now listed in the directory.
  2. If the connector project is not already defined in your WebSphere Integration Developer workspace, import the latest CWYAP_SAPAdapter.rar file in WebSphere Integration Developer. Importing the RAR file creates a connector project for the adapter.
  3. In WebSphere Integration Developer, create a module and assign it the same name as the EAR file without the letters “App.” For example, if the EAR file is CustomerMasterIDocApp.ear, then the module name in this case should be CustomerMasterIDoc.
  4. Extract the contents of the module JAR file into the module. If prompted, do not overwrite the .classpath or .runtime files. For example, extract CustomerMasterIDoc.jar into the module you just created called CustomerMasterIDoc.
  5. In WebSphere Integration Developer, switch to the Business Integration perspective, right-click on the module, and select Refresh from the pop-up menu. You should now see all the .xsd files in the Data Types folder.
  6. Do the following to associate the module with the SAP connector project:
    1. Right-click the module and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
    2. Select Java build path from the left-side menu.
    3. Click the Projects tab and select the check box for the connector project you created in 2
  7. Do the following to associate the CustomerMasterIDocApp project with the SAP connector project.
    1. In the Java™ perspective, right-click the CustomerMasterIDocApp project.
    2. Select Project References from the left-side menu.
    3. Select the check box for the connector project you created in 2.
    4. Within the CustomerMasterIDocApp project, locate the file application.xml and open it using Deployment Descriptor Editor.
    5. In the Modules section, click Details.
    6. On the next panel, click on Add and add CWYAP_SAPAdapter.rar.
    7. Press Ctrl+S to save your changes.
  8. Select Project > Clean from the WebSphere Integration Developer menu to rebuild the projects.
  9. Start up WebSphere Process Server.
  10. Add the project to WebSphere Process Server.
  11. Go to the administrative console and ensure that the application has successfully started running.
  12. If any processes are not running properly, stop and restart the server.
  13. Ensure that the SAP_Auth_Alias has been properly configured with the userID and password required to log on to the SAP application.

What to do next

The adapter configuration properties are already set to the appropriate values in the adapter instance that is provided with the example. However, you must change the values of the following properties to suit your configuration:

Configuration properties you must set for your configuration

Property Type Globalized Description
ApplicationServerHost String Yes When configuring the adapter to run without load balancing, specifies the IP address or the name of the application server that the adapter logs into. In both cases, the adapter assumes that the name of the gateway host is the same as the value specified for this property.
Password String Yes Password for the adapter’s user account on the SAP system.
Username String Yes Name of the adapter’s user account on the SAP system.

To change these values, use the WebSphere Process Server administrative console.
