Installing third-party client libraries

The adapter requires access to the AWS SDK Java Client Library at run time.

Before you begin

Download the API library from the Amazon Web Services website https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/.

About this task

Amazon Web Services might provide client library files, which are newer than what is documented in the guide or in the release notes. While the newer library files can work with the adapter, use these files with caution because they are not tested by IBM. If possible, use the same version as listed here or in the release notes.

Procedure

  1. Go to the AWS SDK for Java website at https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/.
  2. Download the AWS SDK for Java package to a temporary directory.
  3. Extract SDK files.
  4. From the lib directory, copy the file aws-java-sdk-1.11.191.jar into ITDI_HOME\jars\patches directory.
  5. Under third-party\lib, copy all files except spring* jars into ITDI_HOME\jars\patches. See the AWS IAM Adapter Release Notes for these JAR files in the package.
  6. Restart the Dispatcher service.
    For more information about starting and stopping the service, see the Dispatcher Installation and Configuration Guide.
