Setting up your environment
This section describes how to prepare your environment to work with the
samples. In what follows, sample_folder refers to the folder
in which the samples reside, andWBI_folder refers to the folder
containing your current IBM WebSphere Business Integration
installation.
- Create the queues This tutorial requires that six local queues
be defined in WebSphere MQ Workflow queue manager. You create these
either via the WebSphere MQ Explorer application or by typing RUNMQSC
FMCQM at the command line and issuing the following commands:
- DEFINE QL('MQWFCONN.ERROR')
- DEFINE QL('MQWFCONN.ARCHIVE')
- DEFINE QL('MQWFCONN.IN_PROGRESS')
- DEFINE QL('MQWFCONN.REPLYTO')
- DEFINE QL('MQWFCONN.UNSUBSCRIBED')
- DEFINE QL('CWLDINPUTQ')
- Create business object definitions--optional Business
object definition files for the WebSphere MQ Workflow data structures already
exist, but performing this step demonstrates the FDLBORGEN utility, which
converts data structures to business objects. To use this
utility:
- From a command line, change to directory
WBI_folder/connectors/WebSphereMQWorkflow/utilities
- Enter the following:
FdlBorgen -isample_folder/WebSphereMQWorkflow_Samples.fdl -
osample_folder/SampleItem.in -nSampleItem -pMQWF_Structure_ -r3.1.0
FdlBorgen -isample_folder/WebSphereMQWorkflow_Samples.fdl -
osample_folder/SampleItemOrder.in -nSampleItemOrder -pMQWF_Structure_
-r3.1.0
- Load the sample business objects into the repository Start IBM
WebSphere ICS and, using Business Object Designer, select File->Open
From File. Load the repository file named
Sample_MQWF_Order_Objects.in (This file is located in
the WBI_folder/connectors/WebSphereMQWorkflow/Samples
folder.) Confirm that the sample business objects have been
loaded.
- Load the sample collaboration template and collaboration objects into
the repository Using your WebSphere Business Integration System Manager,
select select File->Open From File. Load the repository file
named sample_MQWF_Order_Collaborations.in (located in the
WBI_folder/connectors/WebSphereMQWorkflow/Samples folder).
- Compile the collaboration template Using your WebSphere
Business Integration System Manager, right-click the folder labeled
Collaboration Templates and select Compile all from the drop down list.
- Restart IBM WebSphere ICS Reboot InterChange Server to ensure
that all changes take effect. Use System Monitor to ensure that all of
the collaboration objects and connector controllers are in a green
state.
