Known Issues and Considerations

• The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 (MS CRM 2011) adapter is deprecated and will be removed in the next release of iWay 8, as the underlying application has been removed from extended support by Microsoft. Event functionality has also been deprecated as this ability has been removed by Microsoft. If you have a requirement for continuing support for this adapter and related components, please contact Information Builders Customer Support.
• Microsoft Exchange supports Exchange Web Services at the Exchange 2010 level. This adapter is deprecated and will be removed in the next release of iWay 8, as the underlying application has been removed from extended support by Microsoft. The Exchange Web Services API .jar file is no longer available from Microsoft, but can be found on GitHub. If you have a requirement for continuing support for this adapter at the Exchange 2010 support level and related components, please contact Information Builders Customer Support.

iWay 8 now uses the concept of Application Projects as separate containers for adapter instances. Adapters are no longer installed as system-wide instances, rather Application Projects and their dependencies are designed in isolation and packaged together and deployed to the runtime. This provides improved isolation of applications and efficient use and allocation of system resources.

Applications can be tested and run from the design-time area without deployment during development, so iterative development can take place.

To configure an adapter in iWay Integration Tools (iIT):

1. Create a new Application Project for an adapter to be used.
2. Double-click the bundle object in the Application Project hierarchy (Application Explorer tab), and then click the Libraries tab in the right pane, as shown in the following image.
   
3. Click Add external LIBs to locate and select the third-party resource (.jar, .dll, .zip) that may be needed from your file system.

   The Open dialog is displayed, as shown in the following image.

   

   For example, for SAP ERP on Windows, you must add the sapjco3.jar and sapjco3.dll files to the Libraries tab, which will add these files to the Application Project’s \lib folder during deployment.

   Note: The file type drop-down list in the Open dialog defaults to .jar. When adding dependencies that incorporate dynamic-link libraries (such as Windows .dll files), expand the file type drop-down list and select .dll or .zip, according to the appropriate type you require, as shown in the following image.

   
4. Create a new process flow in your Application Project (Flows subfolder), as shown in the following image.
   
5. In the process flow, drag an Application Adapter (or Technology Adapter) onto the process flow canvas, as shown in the following image.
   

   When the adapter object is added to the process flow canvas, the adapter configuration properties open with the name of the adapter as the header (for example, SAP Adapter).

6. Click the green plus sign icon (Create a configuration) to the right of the Configuration field.

   The New Generic dialog opens, as shown in the following image.

   
7. Enter the required connection information and login credentials for the system you are connecting to (for example, SAP ERP).
8. Click Test Connection to validate, and then click Finish.
9. Set an adapter target to use and explore based on the system you have connected (for example, SAP ERP). Click the ellipsis button (...) to the right of the Adapter Target field, as shown in the following image.
   
10. Select an available remote object (function or module) to be invoked on the target host.
11. Once your adapter target configuration is completed, return to the process flow.

    For more information about testing, running, and deploying process flows and applications, see the iWay Integration Tools documentation.

The following Application Adapters are available from the Palette in iWay Integration Tools (iIT), which you can add to process flows in your Application Project.

The following Technology Adapters are available from the Palette in iWay Integration Tools (iIT), which you can add to process flows in your Application Project.

Adapter-specific Ports and Channels are deprecated in iWay 8 and have been removed from the product. For the following adapters, events are captured by using event listeners in the adapter configuration. They are added using Channels in the Application Project that trigger a process flow. Create a Channel and select one of the following adapters as a listener:

• ConnectDirect
• SAP (SAP ERP)
• LDAP
• MSMQ

For the following adapters, use an RDBMS, HTTP, or SOAP Listener in the channel to capture application events:

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
• JD Edwards World
• Siebel
• SalesForce
• PeopleSoft
• Oracle (Oracle Applications)
• RDBMS
