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® App Connect
Enterprise 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
- As Administrator, take a copy of the eclipse.ini file,
which is in the tools directory under the IBM App Connect Enterprise installation directory.
- Create a directory called
tempconfig in
the root of your C: drive or in your root directory.
- Edit the existing eclipse.ini file.
Change the following
line:
@user.home/AppData/Local/IBM/ACET12-config/12.0.n.0/configuration
(where
n is the level of the installed fix pack)
to:
/tempconfig/configuration
- Start the IBM App Connect Enterprise
Toolkit.
- Install the ITX plug-in.
- Stop the IBM App Connect Enterprise
Toolkit.
- Restore your original eclipse.ini file.
- Create a directory called
eclipse in the install_dir/tools/dropins directory.
- 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
- Restart the IBM App Connect Enterprise
Toolkit.
The ITX plug-in is available for selection from the palette.
You can now remove the contents of the tempconfig directory.
