Develop message flows that use
a user-defined node.
About this task
You can develop message flows by using the user-defined node
in the same way as the built-in nodes. Before you can use a user-defined
node, you must install it into your IBM® Integration Toolkit.
A user-defined node is installed differently depending on how it was
packaged.
Procedure
- Install the user-defined node project:
- If the user-defined node was packaged as plug-in JAR files, copy your JAR files into the dropins folder in your IBM Integration Toolkit installation location, and run the iib -clean -initialize command to pick up the new files.
- If the user-defined node was packaged as an update site, install
the plug-ins from the update site, see Installing from an update site.
-
Restart your IBM Integration Toolkit. The user-defined nodes are
displayed in the palette in the Message Flow editor under the category that you
specified for the user-defined node project.
