Configuring Adapter Service Nodes
Before you configure adapter service nodes, ensure that you have configured a connection node as described in
Configuring Connection Nodes. You can use
Designer to configure adapter service nodes.
To configure adapter service nodes
1. Start Designer.
Note:
Make sure that the Integration Server, with which you want to use Designer, is running.
2. Select a namespace node package in which to create the adapter service node.
3. Create a folder in the selected package and navigate to that folder in the Package Navigator section of Designer.
4. Select File > New.
5. Select Adapter Service from the list of elements.
6. On the Create a New Adapter Service screen, type a name for your service in the Element name field and click Next.
7. On the Select Adapter Type screen, select the name of your adapter and click Next.
8. On the Select an Adapter Connection Alias screen, select the appropriate adapter connection name and click Next.
Important:
If you are using the adapter with Integration Server 8.0 SP1 or earlier, adapter services cannot use connections that are also used for adapter listeners.
9. On the Select a Template screen, select an adapter service template and click Next.
10. Click Finish.
11. Specify values for the tab that is specific for your adapter resource (such as Query, Update, Add, or Delete tab).
12. Specify values for the Input/Output tab and the Settings tab. For more information, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.
