Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Services

Adapter for JDBC 10.3 | webMethods Adapter for JDBC Documentation | webMethods Adapter for JDBC Installation and User’s Documentation | Adapter Services | Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Services

Perform the following steps before configuring or managing adapter services.

To prepare to configure or manage Adapter for JDBC 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 Adapter for JDBC's administrative screens. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.

3. Be sure to check JDBC Driver Specific Properties for a list of known limitations for your database driver since it may affect how you configure your connections and adapter services.

4. If you have made changes to the table schema for a given adapter service, be sure to update the adapter service accordingly.

5. Using Integration Server Administrator, make sure the WmJDBCAdapter package is enabled. For instructions, see Enabling Packages.

6. Using Integration Server Administrator, configure an adapter connection to use with the adapter service. For instructions, see Configuring Adapter for JDBC Connections.

Note:
Integration Server provides a built-in service you can use at design time to change the connection associated with an adapter service. For more information, see Changing the Connection Associated with an Adapter Service or Notification at Design Time.

7. Start Software AG Designer if it is not already running.

8. Using Designer, create a user-defined package to contain the service, if you have not already done so. When you configure adapter services, you should always define them in user-defined packages rather than in the WmJDBCAdapter package. For more information about managing packages for the adapter, see Overview of Package Management.
