Use WebSphere Integration Developer to create an inbound connector
project and then import the resource adapter archive (RAR) file into the project.
Importing the RAR file automatically creates a new J2EE connector project
for the adapter in your workspace in WebSphere Integration Developer.
About this task
Note: If you have
already created the adapter project, you do not need to do it again. You can
skip these steps and begin configuring the adapter for inbound processing.
How to perform this task
- In WebSphere Integration Developer, switch to the J2EE perspective:
- Click .
- Click J2EE.
If J2EE is
not displayed, select the Show all check box, click J2EE,
and click OK.
- If you see the Confirm Enablement window,
select Always enable capabilities and don't ask me again.
- Click OK.
- Import the RAR file by right-clicking Connector Projects and
clicking .
Figure 1. Importing the RAR
file
- Find the RAR file on your local file system by clicking Browse and
navigating to the directory in which Adapter for Flat Files was installed. If you chose the default path when installing the adapter, use the following
directory path: C:\Program Files\IBM\ResourceAdapters\FlatFile\adapter\FlatFile\deploy.
- Accept the default setting (CWYFF_FlatFile)
for Connector project.
The connector
project has the same name as the RAR file.
Note: If a project named
CWYFF_FlatFile already exists in this workspace, the name in the Connector
project field has a number appended to it (for example, CWYFF_FlatFile1).
- Accept the default value in the Target server field.
The default value is the test environment for WebSphere Process Server,
which is installed as part of WebSphere Integration Developer.
- Clear the Add module to an EAR project check
box.

an EAR project check box
Notice that the EAR project field becomes unavailable
after you remove the check mark.
- Click Finish.
Result
A new J2EE connector project,
named CWYFF_FlatFile, is created in your WebSphere Integration Developer workspace.
