Working with integration component libraries

You use integration component libraries to store the components that you develop. This section describes how to create a new integration component library.

Once you have created an integration component library you will typically want to perform the following tasks as well:

For conceptual information about integration component libraries, see Integration component libraries.

Creating integration component libraries

Do the following to create a new integration component library in System Manager by using a wizard:

  1. Do one of the following to start the "New Integration Component Library" wizard:
  2. Type a name for the integration component library in the Project name field.

    Project names can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores, and must be specified in English.

  3. To have the folder for the library created in the default location (your workspace) and with a name identical to the name specified for the library, leave the Use default location checkbox enabled.

    If you want to specify the name and location of the library folder, do the following:

    1. Clear the Use default location checkbox.
    2. Type the full path and name of the directory that you want to use for the library in the Location field, or click Browse to select an existing directory.
    Note:
    There is no way to create the folder for a library in the path of the workspace other than to let System Manager do it by use of the Use default location checkbox.
  4. If you do not want to import components into the library from the repository of a server at this time, proceed to step 5.

    If you do want to import components into the library from the repository of a running server, do the following:

    1. Do one of the following to specify the server from which you want to import the components:
      • Select the server in the Import components from server drop-down menu.

        The server must be running and System Manager must be connected to it for the server to be displayed in the drop-down menu.

      • Click Register new server and add the server to the list through the wizard. For more information, see Registering an InterChange Server Express instance.
    2. Click Next.
    3. At the next screen in the wizard, enable the checkbox next to a server instance to add all of the components in its repository or expand the server folder and enable the checkboxes next to component groups, or expand the folders for groups and enable the checkboxes for individual components.
    4. Enable the Deep checkbox to add all of the dependencies of the selected components. For more information on dependencies, see Dependencies and references.
  5. Click Finish to complete the wizard.

    System Manager creates a folder with the name you specified under the Integration Component Libraries folder.
