Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Services
Perform the following steps before configuring or managing adapter services:
1. Start your Integration Server and Integration Server Administrator, if they are not already running.
2. Make sure you have Integration Server Administrator privileges so that you can access webMethods Adapter for IBM Power's administrative pages. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
3. If you have made changes to the dataqueue structure or to the program you are calling, then be sure to update the adapter service accordingly.
4. Using Integration Server Administrator, make sure the WmIBMPowerAdapter package is enabled. For instructions, see Enabling Packages.
5. Start Software AG Designer if it is not already running.
6. Using Designer, create a user-defined package to contain the service, if you have not already done so. When you configure adapter services, you must always define them in user-defined packages rather than in the WmIBMPowerAdapter package. For more information about managing packages for the adapter, see Overview of Package Management.
7. Using Integration Server Administrator, configure an adapter connection to use with the adapter service. For instructions, see Configuring webMethods Adapter for IBM Power Connections.
