To begin the process of creating a module to communicate with an
SAP service, you create an adapter project. The adapter project (called a connector
project in WebSphere® Integration
Developer) 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.
About this task
You can use the
same adapter project for multiple tutorials. If you have already created an
adapter project by importing the adapter RAR file, you do not need to create
it again, unless you want to have separate adapter projects for each tutorial.
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.
Figure 1. Selecting
J2EE from the Select Perspective list
- 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 2. 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 SAP Software was installed.
Figure 3. Selecting the RAR file from the installation
directory
- Select the RAR file and click Open.
- Accept the default setting (CWYAP_SAPAdapter)
for Connector project.
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).
- 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 adapter project, named
CWYAP_SAPAdapter, is created. To see its contents, expand
CWYAP_SAPAdapter.
