Defining the Microsoft Exchange Adapter in iWay Service Manager

How to:

Before configuring the iWay Application Adapter for Microsoft Exchange in iWay Service Manager (iSM), you must first create a target, which represents a connection to a Microsoft Exchange server, using iWay Explorer. For more information on configuring targets and connections using iWay Explorer, see How to Create a Target.

You can define the adapter in the iSM Administration Console. The configuration process creates run-time connection and persistent data files within iSM. The configuration process interrogates the iSM repository entries that were built when the target and connection were created using iWay Explorer. The define adapter process creates the run-time repository based on the design-time repository.

  1. In the iSM Administration Console, select Registry, then Adapters.

    The Adapters pane opens, as shown in the following image.

  2. Click Add.
