WebSphere Adapter for FTP

Creating the adapter project in WebSphere Integration Developer

To begin the process of creating and deploying a module, you create an adapter project. The adapter project contains the adapter itself plus other related artifacts. You create the project by importing the RAR file, which was copied to your local file system during installation, into WebSphere® Integration Developer.

Before you begin

You must have installed the Adapter for FTP and have created an authentication alias before proceeding.

About this task

Create an adapter project (called a connector project in WebSphere Integration Developer) to contain the adapter (which you import from the adapter installation directory) as well as artifacts related to it. All projects are self-contained; they do not refer to objects outside of the project.

How to perform this task

  1. If WebSphere Integration Developer is not currently running, start it now.
    1. Click Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere > Integration Developer V6.0.2 > WebSphere Integration Developer V6.0.2.
    2. If you are prompted to specify a workspace, accept the default value.

      The workspace is a directory where WebSphere Integration Developer stores your project.

    3. When the WebSphere Integration Developer window is displayed, close the Welcome page.
  2. Switch to the J2EE perspective:
    1. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other.
    2. Click J2EE.

      If J2EE is not displayed in the Select Perspective window, select the Show all check box, click J2EE, and click OK.

    3. If you see the Confirm Enablement window, select Always enable capabilities and don't ask me again.
    4. Click OK.
  3. Import the RAR file by right-clicking Connector Projects and clicking Import > RAR file.

  4. From the Connector Import window, click Browse and navigate to the directory in which Adapter for FTP Software was installed.
  5. Click CWYFT_FTPFile.rar.

    The connector project has the same name as the RAR file.

  6. Optional: In the Connector project field, either type another name for the project or accept the default value.
  7. Optional: In the Target server field, either select the server to which the adapter will be deployed or accept the default value.
  8. Clear the Add module to an EAR project check box.

    Notice that the EAR project field becomes unavailable after you remove the check mark.

  9. Click Finish.

Result

A new J2EE Connector project is created. To see its contents, expand the project in Project Explorer. For example, if the connector project is named CWYFT_FTPFile, expand CWYFT_FTPFile.
