Configure the module for inbound processing
To configure a module to use the adapter for inbound processing, use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to find and select business objects and services from the IBM i system, and to generate business object definitions and related artifacts.
- Pre requisites for inbound processing
To configure the server for inbound processing, create two keyed data queues for each inbound adapter, and extract the compiled control language (CL) programs which are used to complete a specific service. These CL programs are present in the installation directory for IBM Integration Designer.- Discovering objects
After connecting to the IBM i system, you can run a query to search for the required objects. You can browse the discovered objects navigation tree to understand the structure of objects in the IBM i system.You can also search to display only the objects you need to produce a service that typically accesses one or more Enterprise information systems (EIS).
- Access messages using simple or keyed IBM i data queue
To configure a module to use the adapter for accessing messages using data queue, you use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to find a simple IBM i data queue such as first-in first-out (FIFO) or last-in first-out (LIFO) or a keyed IBM i data queue. You then configure the business objects that are generated and create a deployable module.
