The Create New Collaboration wizard steps you through the initial creation and configuration of a collaboration object. After using the wizard, you can go back and modify configuration values. To create a new collaboration object using the wizard:

  1. In System Manager, right-click the Collaboration Objects folder in an integration component library and choose Create New Collaboration Object from the context menu.

    The Create New Collaboration wizard starts and displays the Select collaboration template screen, the first screen in the wizard. This screen lists the installed templates in the Template Name column and a description (if provided by the developer) in the Description column.

  2. From the list of templates, select the collaboration template upon which the object should be based. The name you select is displayed in the Selected Collaboration template field below the list.

    You can also type text in the Find field and the dialog will select a collaboration template whose name begins with the characters you type in the field. You can then use the up and down arrows to navigate among templates that share the pattern of characters, if there are several that match.

  3. Type a name for the collaboration object in the Collaboration object name field.
  4. Click Next to advance the wizard to the Bind ports screen, which displays the ports defined in the collaboration template, the business object definition supported by each port, the type of component to which the port might be bound, and the particular components of the specified type to which each port can be bound.
