Installing plug-ins into the IBM Integration Toolkit for multiple users

Temporarily amend the eclipse.ini file and create a temporary configuration file to install plug-ins that can be used by multiple users in the IBM® Integration Toolkit.

About this task

The IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) plug-in is used for the purpose of an example in this topic. You can install the specific plug-in that you require by using the same method that is described in this topic.

Procedure

  1. As Administrator, take a copy of the eclipse.ini file, which is in the tools directory under the IBM Integration Bus installation directory.
  2. Create a directory called tempconfig in the root of your C: drive or in your root directory.
  3. Edit the existing eclipse.ini file. Change the following line:
    @user.home/AppData/Local/IBM/IIBT10-config/10.0.0.n/configuration 
    (where n is the level of the installed fix pack) to:
    /tempconfig/configuration
  4. Start the IBM Integration Toolkit.
  5. Install the ITX plug-in.
  6. Stop the IBM Integration Toolkit.
  7. Restore your original eclipse.ini file.
  8. Create a directory called eclipse in the install_dir/tools/dropins directory.
  9. Copy the features directory and the plugins directory from the tempconfig directory that you created to the install_dir/tools/dropins/eclipse. The install_dir/tools/dropins directory now contains the following 2 directories:
    • install_dir/tools/dropins/eclipse/features
    • install_dir/tools/dropins/eclipse/plugins
  10. Restart the IBM Integration Toolkit. The ITX plug-in is available for selection from the palette. You can now remove the contents of the tempconfig directory.
