About this task
When you convert a project or application to a library, that library is a static library.
To convert a static library to a shared library, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- Create a shared library in the IBM® Integration Toolkit by clicking .
- Enter a temporary name for the shared library, then click Finish. The name must be unique.
- Move the contents of the static library to the shared library. A message warns that moving resources to another location breaks project references. Accept
this message. You will fix the broken references by deleting the static library and renaming the
shared library.
- Delete the static library and its contents.
- Right-click the shared library, click Rename, and enter the name of the
static library that you deleted. By renaming the shared library, broken project references are fixed.
Results
The new shared library is shown in the Application Development view with the appropriate
icon for a shared library (

another resource, it is shown in the Referenced Libraries folder for that resource.
