Before you configure the adapter in Adapter Manager, you must create a target using iWay Explorer. The target represents a connection to a back-end system. For more information on configuring targets and connections using iWay Explorer, see the iWay Explorer User's Guide.
You configure the adapter in the Adapter Manager console. The configuration process creates run-time connection and persistent data files within Adapter Manager.
The configuration process interrogates the Adapter 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.
To configure the adapter:
The Adapter Defines pane opens as shown in the following image.
The following image shows a pane where a value for iBSP URL is required in the Parameter Value field.
The following pane, which consists of four columns, opens as shown in the following image. The first column lists the parameter name, the second column provides drop-down lists where you can select a value for each parameter, the third column lists the parameter type, and the fourth column provides a description for each parameter.
The following pane opens and displays the target connection information that was previously configured in iWay Explorer and the Logon pane as shown in the following image. The first column lists the parameter name, the second column provides a value for each connection parameter, the third column lists the parameter type, and the fourth column provides a description for each parameter.
The adapter you configured, MyAdapter, appears the Adapter Defines list as shown in the following image and displays the name of the adapter and a description (optional).
To modify or update an adapter connection:
You are returned to the pane that displays the target connection information. You cannot change the name of the adapter or the target, but you can edit the connection information.
