IO18140: PUBLISHING A TDI COMPONENT DOC ISSUE

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The INformation regarding Packaging in the infoCenter is
  incorrect and
  needs to be updated during next publishing cycle.
  
  
  Customer Recreate/ Steps to Duplicate: n/a
  
  Desired Behavior:  Correct Documentation
  
  ENVIRONMENT: TDI 7.0, 7.1, 7.1.1
  
  SOLUTION: DOC apar

  Updates:
  
  1.  In this statement, Packing should be Packaging
  
  Appendix E.  Creating new components using Adapters in the
  Reference
  Guide, Packing an Adapter for consumption
  
  2.  In the below paragraphs:
  
    ** Replace Adapter section of the resources library with
  Connectors
  section of th resources library.
  
    ** The location is the <install-directory>\packages, not
  anywhere.
  
    ** The "At this stage" creates more confusion. More
  explantation is
  needed for the Other Packages might ....
  
  
  The package can be saved anywhere, but the default location is
  the
  packages directory in Anne's Tivoli Directory Integrator
  solution
  directory. When the Adapter is published, it shows up in the
  Adapter
  section of the resources library, in the connector list as an
  available
  connector, and can also be queried from the AL Connector (see
  section
  Using an Adapter in your AssemblyLine).
  
  At this stage you might be a bit confused about the difference
  between a
  Package and an Adapter. Basically, Adapters are Packages that
  are
  intended to be used as Connectors. Other Packages might just
  contain ALs
  that can be called with the AL FC or other mechanism to run an
  AL.

Problem summary

• The documentation would be updated in the TDI.next releae.
  

Problem conclusion

• The udpated documentation would read as follows.
  
  Publishing  an adapter for consumption.
  The goal, in the scenario depicted in the introduction, would be
  to help Anne package her Adapter component and publish it for
  others to consume.
  
  When the Adapter has been developed, the Publish command in the
  Tivoli Directory Integrator development environment creates a
  Package of Anne's AL. Publishing an AL means resolving all
  inheritance and dependencies between the Adapter AL and the rest
  of Anne's development environment. The Package consists of a
  standard stand-alone config XML file that only contains the
  Adapter code that can be sent to other TDI developers for
  inclusion in their resource library (more below).
  
  The package can be saved in the Packages directory of the
  Install directory of Tivoli Directory Integrator. When the
  Adapter is published, it shows up in the connector list as an
  available connector, and can also be queried from the AL
  Connector (see section ?Using an Adapter in your AssemblyLine?).
