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.

Ensure that you have the information to establish a connection with the FTP server.

For example, you need the name or IP address of the FTP 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.
