Add the adapter plug-ins to the data services application
by copying the adapter archive files to library directory of WebSphere® Application Server 7.0.
Before you begin
You must install WebSphere Application Server 7.0
and Rational® Publishing Engine with
the data services feature before you can deploy the data source adapters.
If you have more than one computer for the data
sources, you must repeat these steps on each computer.
If
you are using the
Rational RequisitePro® adapter,
configure the Generic JVM arguments in the application server:
- Open the administrative console in a browser.
Example: http://localhost:9043/ibm/console/logon.jsp
- Click .
- Click the ServerName.
- In the Server Infrastructure section,
expand Java and Process Management and click Process
Definition.
- Click Java Virtual Machine.
- In the Generic JVM arguments field,
enter the argument: -DRJCB_IN_MTA_ONLY='RJCB' -Xquickstart
Attention: The -Xquickstart option
must include a hyphen (-) and not an en-dash (–)
or an em-dash (—). Copying the code phrase from this
topic might convert the hyphen into an en-dash or an em-dash and when
this conversion occurs, the error prevents Apache Tomcat from starting.
- Click OK.
Procedure
- Locate the plug-ins for the adapters. By default, the plug-ins
are installed in a subdirectory of the %RPE_HOME%\web services\data
services directory. For example, the default
location for the Rational RequisitePro plug-in
is %RPE_HOME%\web services\data services\eclipse\plugins.
- Locate the features for the adapters. By default, the features
are installed in a subdirectory of the %RPE_HOME%\web services\data
services directory. For example, the default
location for the Rational RequisitePro feature
is located at %RPE_HOME%\web services\data services\eclipse\features.
- Locate the file system directory of the web application.
By default, the eclipse directories of web applications
are located in C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\profile
name\installedApps\Node Name\DataServices_war.ear\DataServices.war\WEB-INF\eclipse.
To find the location for your installation, you can search the profiles
directory of your WebSphere Application Server application
server for a folder named DataServices.war.
- Copy the adapters of the eclipse directories
from steps 1 and 2 to the directory of step 3. Make sure that the
contents of the eclipse/features and eclipse/plugins directories
are copied to the target location. Do not to delete any files in the
deployed web application. The features and plug-ins for each adapter
must be merged with the features and plug-ins of the web application.
- Restart WebSphere Application Server.
What to do next
Verify that the data services are deployed correctly.
Enter
http://server:port/DataServices.war_context_path in
a browser. If the deployment is correct, the page displays an XML
list of each installed adapter.
