Synchronizing a WebSphere® Application Server instance
You can set up an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server instance as a synchronization source in an IBM® Rational® Integration Tester project.
Before you begin
About this task
Synchronizing HTTP-based web services running on a WebSphere®
Application Server instance creates operations in
the Logical view of your
Rational® Integration
Tester
project. Synchronizing WebSphere® MQ, Java™ message service (JMS), and database sources running
on the server instance creates logical and physical transports in your project.
Note: The
supported databases for synchronizing data sources are IBM®
Db2®, Oracle, Microsoft™ SQL Server, and MySQL.
Procedure
-
Launch the Create a new Synchronization Source wizard in one of
the following ways:
- Click on the menu bar in the Logical or Synchronization view.
- Click the Create Synchronization Source icon (
) and select IBM WebSphere Application Server from the Type list in the Create a new Synchronization Source wizard.
- Click Browse to select an existing physical connection to a WebSphere® Application Server instance. The Select a Resource window is displayed.
-
Select a physical WebSphere®
Application Server instance
connection. Selecting a connection binds the external logical resource to a physical
connection to the WebSphere®
Application Server
instance.
Note: If you do not select a physical connection, the wizard proceeds with an unbound logical object, and a default component name and Rational® Integration Tester environment mapping, which you can change later. If you do not bind the external logical resource to a physical connection during or after using the wizard, you cannot synchronize with the WebSphere® Application Server instance.
- Complete the wizard by following the instructions in Adding a synchronization source.
