Before configuring the adapter in Adapter Manager, you must first create a target, which represents a connection to a back-end system, using iWay Application Explorer. For more information on configuring targets and connections using Application Explorer, see Configuring the Adapter or 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 Application 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.
A pane opens where a value for IBSP URL is required in the Parameter Value field, as shown in the following image.
http://localhost:9000
A pane, which is divided into four columns and three rows, opens as shown in the following image. The first column lists the names of the parameters, 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.
A pane opens and displays the target connection information that was previously configured in Application Explorer, as shown in the following image. The first column lists the names of the parameters, the second column provides values for the connection parameters, the third column lists the parameter type, and the fourth column provides a description for each parameter.
The adapter you configured, MyAdapter, is added to the Adapter Defines list.
The following image shows the Adapter Defines pane which 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.
