Use the Overview pane

The Overview pane provides access to general information about your resource adapter. You can display it at any time by clicking the Overview tab at the bottom of this pane.

In addition to providing general information about your resource adapter, you can generate components that you have not originally specified when working with the wizard.

Overview pane

The General Information section summarizes general information about the resource adapter.

The License Information section allows you to specify and display license descriptions and requirements, if any, for the resource adapter.

The Components section provides navigation links to other panes of the editor.

The Component Addition section allows you to generate components that you have not originally specified when working with the wizard. Click the Add to display the Add Component dialog box. Only those options not previously generated is enabled for you to select.

For example, after generating the outbound adapter classes in first run, if you select Generate inbound adapter classes and generate the inbound adapter classes using the Add Component option, then the generated inbound adapter classes get appended to the existing implementation without override.

To display the Add button for Add Component, maximize the Overview pane. The Add button does not display when this pane is minimized.

Add component dialog

The Icons section of the overview pane allows you to associate icons with the resource adapter. You can specify a large or small icon in jpg or gif format. To fit into the allotted area, the large icons must be 32 x 32 pixels and the small icon 16 x 16 pixels.IBM BPM does not use these icons.
