Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Services
To prepare to configure or manage
Lotus Notes Adapter services
1. Start your webMethods Integration Server and the Integration Server Administrator if they are not already running.
2. Make sure you have Integration Server Administrator privileges so that you can access the Lotus Notes Adapter's administrative screens. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
3. Make sure that the XML data file, located in the Integration Server_directory \packages\WmLotusNotesAdapter\config directory, contains the definitions of the Lotus Domino classes and methods required for development. See
Editing the XML Data File for instructions. 4. Using the Integration Server Administrator, make sure the WmLotusNotesAdapter package is enabled. See
Enabling Packages for instructions. 5. Using the Integration Server Administrator, configure an adapter connection to use with the adapter service. See
Enabling Adapter Connections for instructions. 6. Start Designer if it is not already running.
Note:
If you are using Designer, use the Service Development perspective. For more information, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.
7. 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 WmLotusNotesAdapter package. For more information about managing packages for the adapter, see
Package Management.
