Configure the module for deployment

To configure the adapter so that it can be deployed on IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, use IBM Integration Designer to create a module, which is exported as an EAR file when you deploy the adapter. You then specify the business objects you want to discover and the system on which you want to discover them.

  1. Roadmap for configuring the module
    Before you can use WebSphere Adapter for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in a runtime environment, configure the module. Understanding this task at a high level helps you perform the steps that are needed to accomplish the task.
  2. Create an authentication alias
    An authentication alias is a feature that encrypts the password used by the adapter to access the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server. The adapter can use it to connect to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server instead of using a user ID and password stored in an adapter property.
  3. Create the project
    To begin the process of creating and deploying a module, you start the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer. The wizard creates a connector project, which is used to organize the files associated with the module.
  4. Adding external software dependencies
    The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application requires that you add software dependency files to the project. These software dependencies enable the external service wizard to communicate with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment.
  5. Editing external dependency files
    Some of the software dependency files for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne contain editable information, such as the IBM Integration Designer workplace location and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server name and port number. This type of information may need to be edited before you can establish a connection between the external service wizard and the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server.
  6. Setting connection properties for the external service wizard
    To set connection properties for the external service wizard so that it can access the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server, specify such information as the user name and password you use to access the server as well as the environment name and role name required by the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment.
  7. Configure the module for outbound processing
    To configure a module to use the adapter for outbound processing, use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to find and select business objects and services from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server, and to generate the business object definitions and related artifacts.
  8. 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 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server, and to generate business object definitions and related artifacts.
