WebSphere Adapter for Enterprise Content Management documentation
With WebSphere® Adapter for Enterprise Content Management,
you can create integrated processes that include the exchange of information
with a CMIS server,
without special coding.
Overview of WebSphere Adapter for Enterprise Content Management
With WebSphere Adapter for Enterprise Content Management,
you can create integrated processes that include the exchange of information
with a Content Management Repository,
without special coding. The adapter is built with the open source
specification for content repositories called Content Management Interoperability
Services (CMIS).
Planning for adapter implementation
Before using WebSphere Adapter for Enterprise Content Management,
make sure that you understand the experience you need and the server
environment in which it runs. Learn the considerations for deploying
the adapter in your server environment, and find out how to improve
the performance and availability of the adapter by using a clustered
server environment.
Samples and tutorials
To help you use WebSphere Adapters,
samples and tutorials are available from the Business Process Management
Samples and Tutorials website.
Configuring the module for deployment
To configure the adapter so that it can be deployed on IBM® Business Process Manager or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus,
use IBM Integration Designer to
create a module, which is exported as an EAR file when you deploy
the adapter.
Modifying artifacts
Often business requirements mandate changes to the backend
enterprise information system (EIS) data structures. These changes
call for regeneration and reconfiguration of artifacts (import and
export) that were previously generated using the external service wizard.
Changing interaction specification properties
To change interaction specification properties for your
adapter module after generating the service, use the assembly editor
in IBM Integration Designer.
Deploying the module
Deploy a module to place the files that make up your module
and adapter into an operational environment for production
or testing. In IBM Integration Designer,
the integrated test environment features runtime support for IBM Business Process Manager or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, or both, depending on the test environment
profiles that you selected during installation.
Administering the adapter module
When you are running the adapter in a stand-alone deployment,
use the administrative console of the server to start, stop, monitor,
and troubleshoot the adapter module. In an application that uses an
embedded adapter, the adapter module starts or stops when the application
is started or stopped.
Troubleshooting and support
Common troubleshooting techniques and self-help information
help you identify and solve problems quickly. For
information about configuring logging properties and changing the
log and trace file names, see Configuring logging and tracing.
