Preparing your system to use WebSphere Adapters nodes
Before you can connect to an Enterprise Information System (EIS), you must prepare your system by adding external software dependencies and configuring the EIS to work with the WebSphere® Adapter.
Before you begin
- For general background information, read WebSphere Adapters nodes
- Check for the latest information about WebSphere Adapters at WebSphere Adapters technotes.
- Check for the latest information about support for adapters on different operating systems at IBM® Integration Bus system requirements.
- Check the mode of your integration node, because it can affect the number of integration servers and message flows that you can deploy, and the types of node that you can use. For more information, see Restrictions that apply in each operation mode and Checking the operation mode of your integration node.
- Enable the WebSphere Adapters nodes in the IBM Integration Bus runtime environment; see Preparing the environment for WebSphere Adapters nodes.
- If you want to use the IBM Tivoli® License Manager (ITLM), perform the steps in Activating IBM License Metric Tool for WebSphere Adapters.
