Setting connection properties for the external service wizard

For the external service wizard to be able to discover business objects on the CMIS server, you must specify the connection properties.

The external service wizard requires these properties to connect to the CMIS server to discover and to create the service description.


Procedure

  1. In the Specify the Discovery Properties window, specify the connection properties for the wizard to connect to the CMIS server. The connection information from this window is used by the adapter to connect to the CMIS server and discover business objects. In this same wizard at a later time, you can also change the connection information or an authentication alias to be used at run time.

    Figure 1. Specifying the connection properties

    1. In the Connection field, select the connection protocol from the following options: http or https. For more information about enabling the secured HTTP communication, see Support for secured HTTP communication with CMIS server

    2. In the Server field, specify the server name or IP address of the CMIS end point.

    3. In the Port number field, select the appropriate port number or enter the port number.

    4. In the Path field, specify the context root.

    5. In the User name field, enter the user name used to connect to the server.

    6. In the Password field, enter the password used to connect to the server.

    7. The adapter automatically populates the Repository Service endpoint field with the Endpoint Address of CMIS server followed by /RepositoryService. For discovering information about the repository, including information about the object-types defined for the repository, the adapter requires a Repository Service Endpoint URL as per the CMIS specification. If you configured your Repository Service endpoint with a different format, you can edit the default setting.

  2. To enable bidirectional support for the adapter at run time:

    1. Click Advanced.

    2. In the Bidi properties area, select Bidi transformation.
    3. Set the ordering schema, text direction, symmetric swapping, character shaping, and numeric shaping properties to control how bidirectional transformation is performed.

  3. To specify the logging level, click Change the logging properties for the wizard, and then provide the following information:

    • In Log file output location, specify the location of the log file for the wizard.

    • In Logging level, specify the severity of errors that you want logged.

    This log information is for the wizard only. During run time, the adapter writes messages and trace information into the standard log and trace files for the server.

  4. Click Next.


Results

The external service wizard connects to the database and displays the Find Objects in the Enterprise System window.


What to do next

Continue working in the wizard. Locate the objects on the CMIS server for which you want the wizard to create business objects.
