Before you can use a user-defined node in a message flow,
you must install it into your IBM® Integration Toolkit.
About this task
You can develop message flows by using the user-defined node
in the same way as the built-in nodes. To install the user-defined
node project, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- Copy the user-defined node plug-in JAR file into the dropins folder
in your IBM Integration Toolkit installation location: install_dir/tools/dropins.
For example, the default installation directory on Windows is C:\Program
Files\IBM\IIB\version\.
- To ensure that the new files are available to the IBM Integration Toolkit, restart the Toolkit.
Results
The user-defined node for your connector is displayed in the
palette in the Message Flow editor under the category that you specified
for the user-defined node project.
What to do next
Test your connector in a message flow by following the instructions
in Testing a connector in IBM Integration Bus.
