Configuring Synchronous Services

The Tuxedo Adapter provides one service template named Tuxedo Synchronous Service. A Tuxedo Synchronous Service adapter service executes services from a Tuxedo application. For more information about adapter services, see Using Adapter Services.

Note:
Before you configure the adapter service, you must create the adapter connection you plan to use with it. For instructions, see Adapter Connections.

1. Review the steps in Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Services.

2. Start Digital Event Services or Designer.

3. Perform one of the following:

If you are using Digital Event Services, select File > New > Adapter Serviceand click Next.

1. Right-click the package in which the service should be contained and select New > Adapter Service.

2. Select the parent namespace and type a name for the adapter service.

4. Select Tuxedo Adapter as the adapter type and click Next.

5. Select the appropriate Adapter Connection Name and click Next.

6. Select theTuxedo Synchronous Service template and do one of the following:

If you are using Digital Event Services, click Next, select a package and folder to contain the service, type a unique name for the service, and click Finish.

7. In Digital Event Services or Designer, select and open the service. You can select the Tuxedo Services, Adapter Settings, or Input/Output tabs at any time to view the information.

8. Select the Tuxedo Services tab and from the Select Tuxedo Service drop-down list box, select a Tuxedo service. The Tuxedo Servicestab lists the input and output fields, the data types, and the maximum number of occurrences for each field. For information about a specific Tuxedo service, contact your Tuxedo developer.

Important: All variables in the input signature will be rendered as java.lang.Strings and will appear as strings on the input pipeline regardless of their data type in Tuxedo. The execute() function of the Tuxedo Adapter will translate these strings to the proper input data types before passing them to Tuxedo.
