Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Services
*To prepare to configure or manage Oracle Apps Adapter services
1. Start Integration Server and Integration Server Administrator, if they are not already running.
2. Make sure that you have Integration Server administrator privileges so that you can access Oracle Apps Adapter administrative screens. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
3. Using Integration Server Administrator, make sure the WmOAAdapter package is enabled. See Enabling Packages for instructions.
4. Using Integration Server Administrator, configure an adapter connection to use with the adapter service. See Configuring Adapter Connections for instructions.
5. 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.
6. Make sure that you enable the Automatic data validation. For detailed instructions on how to enable automatic data validation, see Enabling Automatic Data Validation.
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 WmOAAdapter package. For more information about managing packages for the adapter, see Oracle Apps Adapter Package Management.
Important:
If the transaction definitions do not accurately reflect the Oracle Applications use of the DBMS, unpredictable results can occur when the service is run. The webMethods administrator should review the transaction definition with an Oracle Applications administrator to make sure they are suitable for each Oracle Apps Adapter service. For information about updating the transaction definitions, see Editing Integration Server-to- Oracle Applications Transaction Definitions and Editing Oracle Applications -to-Integration Server Transaction Definitions.
