Starting the external service wizard

To begin the process of creating and deploying a module, you start the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer. The wizard creates a project used to organize the files associated with the module.

Verify that you gather the information to establish a connection to the mail server.

For example, you need the name or IP address of the mail server and the user ID and password to access it.

Start the external service wizard to create a project for the adapter in IBM Integration Designer.

If you have an existing project, you can select it instead of having the wizard create one.

To start the external service wizard and create a project, use the following procedure.


Procedure

  1. To start the external service wizard, go to the Business Integration perspective of IBM Integration Designer, and then click File > New > External Service.

  2. In the External service window, expand Adapters and select Email, which is the type of adapter you want to create.

  3. In the Select an Adapter window, select the adapter name to create a project, or select an existing project to reuse it.

    • To create a project...

      1. Select IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email (IBM : version), where version is the version of the adapter you want to use and click Next.

      2. In the Adapter Import window, provide details about the project you want to create.

        1. In the Connector project field, optionally specify a different name for the project.

        2. In the Target runtime field, select the server (for example, IBM BPM).

        3. Click Next.

    • To select an existing project, select the project folder under IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email (IBM : version), where version is the version of the adapter you want to use and click Next.


Results

For a new project, the project is created and is listed in the Business Integration perspective. The wizard creates the adapter artifacts in the specified project.
