Installing the VSAM eWay

Installing the VSAM eWay

7When prompted, restart the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to complete the installation.

Copying JAR files to the eDesigner Library

The VSAM eWay SAR file no longer includes the WebSphere Information Integrator Classic Federation JDBC Driver for VSAM databases. You are required to copy the product’s JDBC JAR file (cacjdbc30.jar) to the following location prior to running a VSAM project:

<JavaCAPS51>\edesigner\lib\ext

where <JavaCAPS51> is the directory where the Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite is installed.

Note: If eDesigner is running, it must be restarted to pickup the new JAR file.

Installing Third-Party Products

In order to run the VSAM eWay you must also install the IBM WebSphere Information Integrator Classic Federation. The product is no longer shipped with the VSAM eWay. For complete details on how to install the Classic Federation, see the IBM WebSphere Information Integrator Installation Guide for Classic Federation and Classic Event.

Important: When you install the Classic Federation, be sure to configure the properties for VSAM. See the appropriate Federation documentation for details.

After Installation

Once you install the eWay, it must then be incorporated into a Project before it can perform its intended functions. See the eGate Integrator User’s Guide for more information on incorporating the eWay into an eGate Project.

2.1.2Extracting the Sample Projects and Javadocs

The VSAM eWay includes sample Projects and Javadocs. The sample Projects are designed to provide you with a basic understanding of how certain database operations are performed using the eWay, while Javadocs provide a list of classes and methods exposed in the eWay.

Steps to extract the Javadoc include:

1Click the Documentation tab of the Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite Installer, then click the Add-ons tab.

2Click the VSAM eWay Adapter link. Documentation for the VSAM eWay appears in the right pane.

3Click the icon next to Javadoc and extract the ZIP file.

4Open the index.html file to view the Javadoc.
