How to: |
To browse the business objects of an application system, you must create a target for that system. The target is the means by which you connect to the system. It contains the logon properties used to access the system.
Using the target, you must establish a connection to an application system every time you want to browse the system in iWay Explorer.
The Add Target dialog opens and displays the Generic Target Properties pane, as shown in the following image.
If you clear this option, iWay Explorer will not automatically connect to the target. From the tree, you can connect to an individual target when you want to access the associated application system.
The JDE One World Target Properties pane opens, as shown in the following image.

The new target is added to the Adapters node of iWay Explorer, as shown in the following image.
Although you can maintain multiple open connections to different application systems, it is a good practice to close a connection when you are not using it.
The connection to the application system is closed.
After you create a target, you can edit the information that you provided during the creation procedure.
The Edit Target dialog opens and displays the JDE EnterpriseOne target properties.
iWay Explorer will use the modified properties to connect.
You can delete a target that is no longer needed. You can delete it whether or not it is closed. If open, the target automatically closes before it is deleted.
iWay Explorer displays a prompt, asking you to confirm the deletion of the selected target, as shown in the following image.
