Preparing to Configure and Manage Adapter Services
Perform the following steps before configuring or managing adapter services.
*To prepare to configure or manage Adapter for OPC services
1. Ensure that Integration Server and Integration Server Administrator is up and running.
2. Make sure you have Integration Server Administrator privileges so that you can access Adapter for OPC's administrative screens. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
3. Using Integration Server Administrator, make sure the WmOPCAdapter package is enabled.
4. Using Integration Server Administrator, configure an adapter connection to use with the adapter service.
Note:
Adapter for OPC 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.
5. Start Software AG Designer if it is not already running.
6. Using Software AG 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 WmOPCAdapter package. For more information about managing packages for the adapter, see Overview of Package Management.
