Integrating with WSADIE

You can extend a WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition (WSADIE) workbench with this product. This integrates the Message Brokers Toolkit into the WSADIE workbench, and the Broker Administration perspective and the Broker Application Development perspective are available in WSADIE.

To do this, you must have the appropriate supported level of WSADIE. The version that can be extended is WSADIE Version 5.1. You must apply "WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition Interim Fix 002 - General Fixes 2.0.0" and "WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Interim Fix 001 - Prerequisite Fixes 1.0.0.1".

You must also check that you have installed the correct level of the Message Brokers Toolkit. The Version 5.0 toolkit is compatible with WSADIE Version 5.0, and the Version 5.1 toolkit is compatible with WSADIE Version 5.1; all other combinations are invalid. You cannot install both versions of the toolkit on one system.

For further details about toolkit versions, refer to Different versions of the Message Brokers Toolkit.

If you want to integrate the two products, complete this sequence of actions:

Refer to Applying fixes for detailed instructions for both WSADIE and WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker required upgrades.

If you access both the WSADIE and the Message Brokers Toolkit workbenches, you can share resources, subject to the restrictions described in Sharing resources.

Linking the two workbenches

If you want the Broker Administration perspective and Broker Application Development perspective to be available in the WSADIE workbench, create links in the WSADIE workbench:
  1. Navigate to Help > Software Updates > Update Manager.
  2. In the lower left Feature Updates view, click My Computer. This displays the accessible disks and the directories on those disks.
  3. Navigate through the directory structure to the folder in which you have installed WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker.
  4. Locate the folder evtoolkit. This contains the extension point for WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker. Open the folder, right-click the extension point icon and select Link Product Extension.

    Do not link to the extension point evdeps.

Sharing resources

If you have installed both the WSADIE and Message Brokers Toolkit workbenches, you can share resources if you maintain them in a shared directory or repository. In each workbench, resources (such as message flows) are created in or imported into a specific directory.

A default directory is initially set, and this varies for each workbench (it depends on the install location). If you want to share resources in a common directory, do not use the default directory shown in either workbench, but enter a common directory and ensure all your users know where to find the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker resources.

Alternatively, you can use a shared repository, such as CVS.

When you open a workbench, you might have to import a resource that you want to work with from the directory or repository, if it is not already in the workspace specific to that instance of the workbench.
