Configuring an Event Listener for the iWay Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne

This section describes how to install and configure an event listener for the iWay Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne on an AS/400 platform. Outbound (event) processing on AS/400 requires the configuration of an Event Stub and a configuration file (iwoevent.cfg).

Configuring the iwoevent.cfg File

The iwoevent.cfg file contains connectivity information that is read by the Event Stub to communicate with J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne.

Procedure: How to Configure the iwoevent.cfg File

To configure the iwoevent.cfg file:

Using the CRTDIR command, create a directory on AS/400 that is accessible by the J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne application server. For example:
```
CRTDIR DIR('/e810sys/outbound') DTAAUT(*RW)
```
Copy the iwoevent.cfg configuration file to the directory you just created, for example:
```
/e810sys/outbound
```
Create a directory using the alias name that is specified in the iwoevent.cfg file.
Add an environment variable called IWOEVENT_HOME for the J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne application server.
The value should be a full path to the directory that you specified in Step 1, for example:
```
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(IWOEVENT_HOME) VALUE('/e810sys/outbound') LEVEL(*SYS)
```
If the iwoevent.cfg configuration file has tracing enabled (trace=on), the iwoevent.log trace file is created in the IWOEVENT_HOME directory.

Reference: Sample iwoevent.cfg Configuration File

You can use the following sample iwoevent.cfg configuration file for reference purposes:

common.trace=on
alias.Gopi=172.30.244.136:1234,trace=on
trans.JDEAB=Gopi

Configuring the Event Stub

The Event Stub for the iWay Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne must be installed on the AS/400 platform by an administrator.

Procedure: How to Configure the Event Stub

To configure the Event Stub:

In the iSeries green console, use the CRTLIB command to create a temporary library. For example:
```
CRTLIB IWAYTEMP
```
Use the CRTSAV command to create an online save file in the library you just created, for example:
```
CRTSAVF IWAYTEMP/IWAYSAV
```
Using FTP, upload the iwaysav.sav file to your iSeries system. For example:
```
FTP YourSystemNameLoginBIN
PUT IWAYSAV.SAV IWAYTEMP/IWAYSAV
```
where:
YourSystemNameLogin
Is the name of your iSeries system.
In the iSeries green console, enter the following command:
```
RSTLIB SAVLIB(IWAYPLUGIN) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(IWAYTEMP/IWAYSAV)
```
A new library named IWAYPLUGIN is created, which contains one object named EVENTPLUG.
Note: Using the P0047 (Work With Data Export Controls) application, you must specify the Function Library as IWAYPLUGIN/EVENTPLUG.
