Setting location properties for artifacts

After you select and configure deployment properties, use the external service wizard to configure location properties that the adapter uses to generate the service.

This task is performed using the Specify the Location Properties window of the external service wizard.

To configure location properties for your module follow this procedure:


Procedure

  1. Optional: In the Specify the Location Propertieswindow, either select an existing module or create a new one.

    • To use an existing module, select its name from the Module list.

      If the module contains an interface or business object with the same name as any you are now configuring, the original interface or business object in the module is replaced by the new version.

    • To create a new module:

      1. Click New.

      2. In the Select a Business Integration Project Type window, select Create a module project and click Next.

      3. In the Create a Module window, type a name for the module.

        For example, ISeriesOutboundInterface.

      4. If you want the service description files (the .import and .wsdl files) to be in the default folder in the module, leave Use default location selected. If you want to specify a different folder in the module, clear the option and then click Browse to specify a different folder in Location.

      5. If you want the module to be automatically opened in the assembly diagram in Integration Designer when the wizard closes, select Open module assembly diagram. Otherwise, clear this option.

      6. Click Finish to create the new module.

  2. Specify the namespace you want to use for your business objects schema.

    • If you want the business objects in the module to use the default derived namespace, leave Use default namespace check box selected.

    • To specify a different namespace, clear the option and type a different value in Namespace.

  3. Optional: Specify the folder within the new module where the service description will be saved. In Folder, type the folder name or browse to an existing folder. If you do not specify a folder name, the artifacts (the import, XSD, and WSDL files) are stored in the root folder of the module (the folder with the module name).

  4. In Name, accept the default import name or type a different name.

  5. If you want to save business objects in a library where they can be used by other modules, select Save business objects to a library and specify the location of the library in Library.

  6. Optional: In Description, type a descriptive comment about the module.

  7. When you are finished setting properties, click Finish.

    If the Model Changed window is displayed, click Yes.
