Associating code with a .NETInput node

To associate your compiled code assembly with a .NETInput node, complete the Assembly name and Class name properties on the node.

About this task

Tip: Your message flows can call .NET assemblies. You write and maintain your .NET code in Microsoft Visual Studio. You develop your message flows in the IBM® Integration Toolkit, which runs in an Eclipse framework. It is suggested that you keep the assemblies in the Microsoft Visual Studio framework; do not import them into the IBM Integration Toolkit.
Tip: You can also drag an existing .NET assembly or .NETInput node onto the canvas, and then follow the prompts to create this association. The assembly must contain an implementation of a .NETInput node.

Procedure

  1. Create a message flow that contains a .NETInput node.
    For example, create a message flow that contains an MQInput node, a .NETInput node, and an MQOutput node.
  2. On the Basic tab of the .NET node, set the Assembly name property to point to the assembly that contains your compiled code.
    You can either type the full path name of the file into the field, or select Browse to navigate to .exe and .dll files that are stored on the file system.
  3. Optional: Specify the name of the class within the assembly.
  4. Save the message flow.
