Installing IBM WebSphere Server Access interface

To be able to develop an access client, you must install the Server Access Interface on the development machine. IBM WebSphere Installer installs the files associated with the IBM WebSphere Server Access Interface. It installs the directories and files shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Installed file structure for the IBM WebSphere Server Access Interface
Directory Description
DevelopmentKits\sadk\ ServerAccessInterfaces Contains the AccessInterfaces.idl file for access clients.
DevelopmentKits\sadk\ ServerAccessInterfaces\ AccessSample Contains source code for the sample access client.
repository\sadk Contains file for MO_Server_DataHandler meta-object that defines which data handlers the Server Access Interface supports.

IBM WebSphere Installer installs the files in Table 1 automatically when it installs the IBM WebSphere software. To ensure that the Server Access Interface API is installed, make sure that the Server and Tools component is selected on the Select Components screen of IBM WebSphere installer. When the installer installs this component, it automatically installs the directories and files listed in Table 1.

IBM WebSphere installer also installs files needed by the IBM WebSphere-delivered data handlers. For more information, see the installation chapter in the Data Handler Guide.
