    1. Select Window > Open Perspective > Other from the menu bar. All perspectives are displayed.
    2. Select the Business Integration perspective.
  2. Right-click the frame of the Business Integration perspective window and select New > Enterprise Service Discovery.

  4. In the Configure settings for Discovery Agent window, specify the properties that are used to discover the business data as well as for selecting the data binding that is used at runtime.
    1. Enter the Folder name for where your xsd schemas for the business objects have been stored. For example: C:\Program Files\IBM\ResourceAdapters\FTP\adapter\FTP\Samples. The business objects to be used in the integration scenarios are selected from schema definitions present in the folder.
    2. Optional: Select a Character Set. Select the Character Set if the business data is of a different encoding. The business data corresponds to the data present in the files on which the operations are performed.
      Note: If using the samples scenarios generated by WebSphere Integration Developer, you do not need to select a Character Set.
    3. Enter Content type. This one-time setting is used to bundle a content-type with a corresponding data binding. This displays all the content types that the adapter supports.
    4. Optional: If you want to configure individual business object properties, select the Specify BO Properties check box. If checked, a series of windows will appear where individual business object properties can be defined.
  5. When all properties are defined, click Next.
