Use JCA
connector rules to connect your application to an external
Enterprise Information System (EIS) through a resource adapter
that implements the Common Client Interface (CCI) of the J2EE
Connector Architecture (JCA) specification.
Before you begin, create an instance of the Data-Admin-Connect-JCAAdapter class that defines the resource adapter you want the connector to communicate with. See More about Connect JCA rules.
A JCA connector rule gathers the data for an input record
and then invokes the resource adapter Execute()
method for a specific function. The resource adapter data
instance specifies which Execute() method to use.
The connector rule determines which of the resource adapter
InteractionSpec methods to use and provides the
input record object. If required by the resource adapter, the
connector rule also instantiates the output record object and
provides a reference to that object in the request.
Use the Connect-JCA method in an activity to begin execution of a Connect JCA rule.
Use the Application Explorer or the Integration slice
(
) to see Connect JCA rules in your
application. Use the Rules by Type Explorer to list all the
Connect JCA rules that are available to you.
To debug your application, you can simulate a JCA connector when the external class is unavailable or lacks a test environment. See Creating Connector Simulations..
Connect JCA rules belong to the Integration-Connectors category. A Connect JCA rule is an instance of the Rule-Connect-JCA rule type.
