Package Management
A namespace node package is a package in which the user of the adapter creates the adapter's namespace nodes for connections, adapter services, polling notifications, listener notifications, and listeners. The user of the adapter must not create nodes in the adapter package. Keeping namespace nodes separate from the adapter package simplifies the process of upgrading a deployed adapter.
The procedure for creating a namespace node package is identical to the procedure for creating any webMethods package. For instructions for creating packages, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.
All the nodes of an adapter may be located in one package, or they may be distributed among multiple packages. Namespace node packages management tasks include:
Setting package dependencies for namespace node packages.
Setting package dependencies for namespace nodes.
Using access control lists (ACLs) to control which development group has access to which adapter services
Enabling and Disabling Packages.
Loading, Reloading, and Unloading Packages.
To perform these tasks, the user of the adapter must use webMethods Integration Server, Designer, and a web browser.
Note:
You must have Integration Server administrator privileges to access an adapter's management screen. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
