Other installation requirements

vi2 provides the MetadataService adapter to obtain the metadata information from the registry. You need to install this adapter on an instance of the i2 application. Be sure to start the adapter prior to using the MetadataService.

vThe bindings file for the port MetadataService, for example, TDMMetadata.xml, which contains the port, operation, and type information, needs to be in the i2 configuration directory.

vThe Visibroker Object Activation Daemon needs to run on the machine that is running the agent and the one on which Business Object Designer is installed.

Launching i2 ODA

Before you begin: Ensure that the i2 ODA and XML schema ODA are installed on your system.

You can launch i2 ODA in either of the following ways:

vAutomatically—If you registered i2 ODA with the Visibroker Object Activation Daemon (OAD), you do not need to start i2 ODA manually. OAD maintains a list of registered ODA names and listens for requests to start the ODA. When you select the ODA’s name in Business Object Designer, OAD starts the ODA.

For information on registering i2 ODA, see IBM WebSphere System Installation Guide for UNIX or for Windows.

vManually—If you have not registered i2 ODA with the Visibroker Object Activation Daemon, start it by running the appropriate file:

UNIX: start_i2ODA.sh

Windows: start_i2ODA.bat

You have to add the proper path to the start files for CIS-SDK and j2ee.jar Example: The following path information needs to be added to start_i2.bat file:

set I2_CIS_HOME_DIR=C:\i2\CIS\6.0\cis-sdk set J2EE_PATH=C:\J2EE_JAR

Note: These are just examples. You should change the path information depending on your local installation.

You configure and run i2 ODA using Business Object Designer. Business Object Designer locates each ODA by the name specified in the AGENTNAME variable of each script or batch file. The default ODA name for this connector is i2ODA. During installation, if you register the ODA with the Visibroker Object Activation Daemon, the wizard automatically prefixes the host name to the AGENTNAME value to make it unique.
