About this task

To install Adapter for OPC

Procedure

  1. Download Installer.
  2. If you are installing the adapter on an existing Integration Server, shut down the Integration Server.
  3. Start the webMethods wizard.
  4. Choose the webMethods release that includes the Integration Server on which you want to install the adapter. For example, if you want to install the adapter on Integration Server 10.3, choose the 10.3 release.
  5. Specify the installation directory as follows:
    • If you are installing on an existing Integration Server, specify the webMethods installation directory that contains the host Integration Server.
    • If you are installing both the host Integration Server and the adapter, specify the installation directory to use.
  6. In the product selection list, select Adapters > webMethods Adapter 10.3 for OPC.

    If you are using Integration Server 10.3 and above, you can choose to install the package in the default instance. In this case, IBM webMethods Installer installs the adapter in both locations, Integration Server_directory\packages and the default instance packages directory located in Integration Server_directory\instances\instance_name\packages.

  7. After the installation completes, close the Installer.
  8. Adapter for OPC uses ProSys Java SDK client library to communicate with OPC UA Sever. Copy the ProSys Java SDK client .jar files to Integration Server_directory\instances\instance_name\packages\ WmOPCAdapter\code\jars directory.
    Note: To enable the Adapter connection, it is necessary to add the jar files.

  9. Start the host Integration Server.
