Creating a New Configuration

Before you can use iWay Explorer with iWay adapters, you must create a repository where your XML schemas, web services, and event data are stored. Since you can deploy iWay Explorer using the iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP), each implementation requires you to configure a specific repository before you can explore Enterprise Information System (EIS) metadata.

The iBSP exposes, as web services, enterprise assets that are accessible from adapters regardless of the programming language or the particular operating system. In addition, you can use iBSP as a stand-alone Java application running in iWay Service Manager. If you deployed iWay Explorer using iBSP, follow the steps in How to Create a Repository for iBSP.

Procedure: How to Create a Repository for iBSP

To create a repository for iBSP using iWay Explorer:

Start iWay Explorer as described in Starting iWay Explorer.
The following image shows the New option that is available in the left pane of the iWay Explorer window when you right-click the iWay Configurations node.
Right-click iWay Configurations and select New.
The following image shows the New Configuration dialog box that opens, where you supply a name for the configuration.
Type a name for the configuration, for example, SampleConfig, and click OK.
The following image shows additional fields on the New Configuration dialog box, where you select the service provider and supply the iBSP URL.
From the Service Provider drop-down list, select iBSE.
You are prompted for the iBSP URL. Use one of the following two options:

To access the stand-alone iBSP that is installed as part of iWay Service Manager, provide the following URL
```
http://hostname:9000
```
where:
hostname
Is the host name where iWay is installed.
If you changed the default SOAP port, substitute accordingly.
To access Servlet iBSP, provide the following URL
```
http://hostname:port/ibse/IBSEServlet
```
where:
hostname
Is the host name of your application server.
port
Is the port number used by your application server.
Click OK.
The following image shows the node representing the new configuration that appears beneath the root iWay Configurations node. In this image, the node is named SampleConfig.

The adapters are installed with the iWay installation. However, you must provide the appropriate third-party .JAR files to display each adapter in the list of available adapters in the left pane. For more information, see the iWay Installation and Configuration Guide.

The iWay Adapters enable you to view EIS metadata and create XML request and response schemas that can be used to listen for events or create web services. For more information on viewing EIS metadata and creating schemas, see Integrating With Oracle Interface Tables and Concurrent Programs. For more information on creating web services, see Creating iWay Business Services for Interface Tables.

The iWay Events enable you to create ports and channels for event handling. For more information, see Listening for Oracle E-Business Suite Events.
