Procedure: How to Create an iWay Explorer Connection to an iSM Server

This procedure assumes that you have opened iWay Integration Tools and are in the Workbench.

  1. Click the iWay Explorer tab to make it active.
  2. Click the Launch iWay Resource Creator Wizard button on the tool bar.
    In the following image, the iWay Explorer tab is active, and the cursor is pointing to the Launch iWay Resource Creator Wizard button.
    When you click the button, the Resource Selection Dialog / New iWay Connection dialog box opens.
  3. Under the Type heading, click iWay Configuration, which is the type of resource that you are going to create.
  4. Click Next to open the Add iWay Configuration / Select Connection Types dialog box.
  5. In the Configuration Alias field, click a name from the drop-down list, or type a name for the configuration, for example, SampleConfig.
    The drop-down list contains the names of configurations that you have used before.

    Tip: The name that you supply is used only for display purposes in the tree. It is not a server connection property.

  6. For Connection Type, click the radio button for the method that you are using to connect to iSM.
  7. Optionally, select the Connect to Host upon Wizard Completion check box if you want iWay Explorer to automatically connect to this instance of iSM after you have created it. If you select this option, all the explorer environments under the new iSM connection are automatically connected to iSM when this procedure is finished.
    If you do not select this option, the explorer environments are not automatically connected to iSM. You can connect to an individual explorer environment when you want to access it.
  8. Click Next to continue the procedure.
  9. If you selected an HTTP Connection, the Add iWay Configuration / Enter Connection Information dialog box opens.
    • Verify the values in the three fields, or type the valid value or values.
      • The Connection String field contains the URL that connects to the iSM.
      • The SOAP Port/Endpoint field contains the SOAP port number.
      • The Console Port/Endpoint field contains the port number that the iSM Administration Console is listening on.
    • Optionally, under Presets, click Local Connection to insert values for a local default iSM connection in the fields, or click Servlet to insert values for a sample servlet connection.
    • Click Finish.
The new iSM connection is added to the tree on the iWay Explorer tab.

In the following image, an iSM connection named SampleConfig was added to iWay Explorer. The tree is expanded to show the five explorer environments that are available.
