Configuring the Adapter in Service Manager
Before configuring the adapter in iWay Service Manager,
you must first create a target, which represents a connection to
a backend system, using iWay Explorer. For more information on configuring
targets and connections using iWay Explorer, see Creating XML Schemas and iWay Business Services.
You configure the adapter in the iWay Service Manager console.
The configuration process creates run-time connection and persistent
data files within Service Manager. The configuration process interrogates
the Service Manager 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.
