Deploying module at node level with embedded activation specification

The adapter is deployed at the node level, with the activation specification created during module creation. The adapter can be shared across multiple applications.

1. In the Service Configuration Properties window, from the Deploy connector project property list, select On server for use by multiple applications.
2. From the Connection properties list, select Use properties below.
3. Create the module as described in the Business process management samples for WebSphere Adapters.
4. In the Dependencies option for the module, ensure that the Deploy with module option is not selected for the adapter. Here, the adapter is not part of the module, therefore you must deploy the adapter before deploying the application.
5. If the server is not running, right-click your server in the Servers view and select Start.
6. When the server status changes to Started, right-click the server and select Administration > Run administrative console. Log on to the administrative console.
7. To deploy the adapter at individual nodes, click Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters. In the clustered environment, you must install the adapter in each node separately.
8. In the Resource adapters page, click Install RAR.
9. In the Install RAR file page, click Browse and navigate to the RAR file for your adapter. Deploy the RAR on each node.

   The RAR files are typically installed in the following path: IID_installation_directory/ResourceAdapters/adapter_name/adapter.rar

10. For deployment at node level, do not select any Scope because the scope is always Node. Click Next.
11. Optional: In the Resource adapters page, change the name of the adapter and add a description. Click OK.
12. Click Save in the Messages box at the top of the page.
13. For node level deployment, check if the adapter RAR is deployed at the node level.
14. To deploy the adapter at the cluster level, click Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters.
15. In the Resource adapters window, set the Scope to Cluster, and then click New.
16. Select the RAR deployed at the node level.
17. Check if the adapter RAR is now deployed at the cluster level. Deploy the application after the adapter is deployed at the node level on the individual nodes, and then at the cluster level.
18. From the Deployment Manager Admin Console, click Install applications to deploy the application.
19. On the Step 2: Map modules to servers window, select the module and click Next. The adapter is not part of the deployed application.
20. In the Admin Console, click Resources > Resource Adapters > IBM WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software > J2C activation specifications to view the activation specification from the adapter deployed at the cluster level.
