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 database, and to generate business object definitions and related artifacts.

  1. Discovering database objects for inbound processing
    After configuring the connection properties, run a query to search for database objects. Browse the tree of discovered objects to understand the structure of objects in the database and use filters to display only the database objects you want to see.
  2. Selecting and configuring business objects
    Using the list of database objects discovered by the external service wizard, and the query and batch SQL object templates you specified, continue using the wizard to select the database objects that you need to access in your module. Then, provide configuration information for your new business objects.
  3. Setting global properties for operations and creating wrapper business objects
    After you have selected database objects in the external service wizard, you need to specify properties that apply to all business objects.
  4. Setting deployment properties and generating the service
    After you select and configure business objects for your module, use the external service wizard to configure properties that the adapter uses to connect to a specific database. The wizard creates a new business integration module where all the artifacts and property values are saved.
  5. Completing the configuration
    In some situations, manual configuration steps are needed to complete the configuration of your business objects.
