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
Make sure you
have installed Adapter for SAP Software and that you have created an authentication
alias.
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.
To create an adapter project, use the following procedure.
How to perform this task
- If
WebSphere Integration Developer is not currently running, start it now.
- Click .
- If you are prompted to specify a workspace, accept the default
value or select another workspace.
The workspace is a directory
where WebSphere Integration Developer stores your project.
- When the WebSphere Integration Developer window is displayed,
close the Welcome page.
- Switch to the J2EE perspective:
- Click .
- Click J2EE.
If J2EE is
not displayed in the Select Perspective window, 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
- From the Connector Import window, click Browse and
navigate to the directory in which Adapter for SAP Software was installed.
- Click either CWYAP_SAPAdapter.rar or CWYAP_SAPAdapterTX.rar,
depending on which adapter you installed.
The connector project
has the same name as the RAR file.
If a project named CWYAP_SAPAdapter.rar
already exists in this workspace, the name in the Connector project field
has a number appended to it (for example, CWYAP_SAPAdapter1).
- Optional: In the Connector project field,
type another name for the project or accept the default value.
- Optional: In the Target server field,
select the server to which the adapter will be deployed or accept the default
value.
- Clear the Add module to an EAR project check
box.
Figure 2. Clearing the Add module to
an EAR project check box
Notice that the EAR project field becomes unavailable
after you remove the check mark.
- Click Finish.
Result
A new adapter project is
created and is listed under
Connector Projects in the
Project
Explorer window. To see its contents, expand the project. For example,
if the project is named CWYAP_SAPAdapter, expand
CWYAP_SAPAdapter.

window
What to do next
Add the required
external dependencies to the project.
