Before using an adapter in iWay Service Manager (iSM), you must create a target for it, which represents a specific instance of a connection to a back-end system. For more information on creating targets and connections using iWay Explorer, see the corresponding user's guide for that adapter.
When you add an adapter (target) in the iWay Service Manager Administrator Console, the process creates run-time connection and persistent data files within iSM. In addition, the process interrogates the iSM repository entries that were built when the target and connection were created using iWay Explorer. Adding an adapter (target) also creates the run-time repository based on the design-time repository.
Adapters can be added from the iWay Service Manager Administrator Console or a process flow that is created using iWay Integration Tools (iIT) Designer.
For more information on using iIT Designer to create process flows, see the iWay Integration Tools Designer User’s Guide.
To add an adapter:
The Adapters pane opens listing defined adapters with targets defined, as shown in the following image.
The Repository pane opens, as shown in the following image.
An adapter selection pane opens, as shown in the following image.
The connection information associated with the target selected is displayed. For example, the following image shows the SAP connection information pane.
Perform the following steps:
The adapter is added to the list in the Adapters pane, as shown in the following image.
Any adapters that have been defined using iIT Designer are available in the registry. As a result, the adapters will also appear in the Adapters pane and can be modified. For example, you can modify an adapter to include special registers (SREGs).
To modify or update a defined adapter:
The pane that displays the target connection information opens. You cannot change the name of the adapter or the target, but you can edit the connection information.
