Pattern of importing and exporting services

Using the enterprise service discovery wizard to find services follows a similar pattern regardless of the system you are searching for services.

Prior to using the enterprise service discovery wizard, you perform some configuration tasks. For example, you would need to import a RAR file into your workspace if you intend to use it to access an EIS system through a resource adapter. You would need to specify the location of a WebSphere Service Registry and Repository if you intend to access that registry.

Then you would follow this pattern with the enterprise service discovery wizard to get the objects from the system you are searching.

  1. Connect to a host system. A host system could be a server name or a URL address. Connecting to a system may involve security details, depending on the security setup in your organization.
  2. Once the enterprise service discovery wizard finds the system, it lists the objects available to import.
  3. You make a selection from the list, which becomes a query.
  4. You generate the artifacts, which means interfaces, business objects, and other XML structures are created in your module.
