WebSphere Adapter for JDBC

Generating artifacts

After you specify Metadata selection properties, you configure properties that the adapter uses to set up a communication channel to a specific database. These properties include Resource adapter and Activation specification properties. You also need to create a new business integration module where all the artifacts and property values can be saved.

How to perform this task

  1. Specify new module name.
    • In the Generate artifacts window, which is shown below, if a new module name appears in the Module field, you don't need to take any action.
    • Otherwise, you need to click New. If the New Integration Project window is displayed, select Create a module project and click Next. In the New Module window, enter the module name and click Finish.
  2. Optional: In the Generate Artifacts window, specify a folder for the service description by typing or browsing for a folder within the new module where the service description will be saved. If you do not specify a folder name, the artifacts (the export and WSDL files) are stored in the root folder of the module, that is, the folder with the module name.
  3. The export file name appears in the Name field. You could add a comment in the Description field.
  4. Click Edit Operation names to review the default names of all the operations for the business objects you are creating.

    The default names comprise the operation name combined with the business object name.

  5. Select the Deploy connector with module check box.
    Note: By checking Deploy connector with module you ensure that the adapter project RAR file is included in the EAR file that you deploy to the application server.
  6. Specify configuration property values that will be used to connect to the EIS at run time.
    • Select Use discovered connection properties to set property values.
    • In the future after you deploy the project and you need to create new business objects, you can select Use connection properties specified on server. This selection indicates that you want to use the properties already on the application server.
  7. Set property values. Required property fields are marked with an asterisk.

    For inbound processing, the property fields are displayed for the Activation specification and Resource adapter properties.

    If you activated bidirectional transformation, the bidirectional property fields are displayed for inbound processing.

    For details on these configuration properties, see "Adapter configuration properties" in the "Reference" section.

  8. Specify in the J2C Authentication Data Entry field the authentication alias that you set up on the application server.

    For more details, see "Creating the authentication alias".

  9. Specify in the JNDI Lookup Name field the name of the connection factory that will be used on the application server.
