Creating a new configurable service

Use the IBM® Integration Explorer to create a new configurable service to define properties for an external service on which the integration node (broker) relies.

You can add a new configurable service to your integration node based on an IBM defined configurable service template using the IBM Integration Explorer. You must provide a name for your configurable service, which must not duplicate an existing configurable service name. The name cannot start with a digit.

As an alternative to creating a new configurable service, you can modify an IBM defined configurable service, see Modifying an IBM defined configurable service.

Not all configurable service types are available to select within IBM Integration Explorer. If you want to create a configurable service and the type is not listed, you must first create an instance of that type via the command line. For information about creating configurable services by using the command line, see mqsicreateconfigurableservice command.

To add a new configurable service using the IBM Integration Explorer:

  1. In the Navigator view, expand the integration node on which you want to add a new configurable service.
  2. Right-click the Configurable Services folder and click New > Configurable service. The Configurable services window is displayed.
  3. Enter a name for your configurable service. When naming your JDBCProvider service, consider the following requirements:
    • If you want to use your JDBCProvider service with a JavaCompute node, or with a Java™ user-defined node, the name of your JDBCProvider service must match the datasourceName parameter in the getJDBCType4Connection() call from the node.
    • If you want to use your JDBCProvider service with a Mapping node, the name of your JDBCProvider service must match the database name that is used by the database transforms in your Graphical Data Map. For each database transform, the database name is determined by the database definition (.dbm file) in the Data Design project that was used to create the map.
    • If you want to use your JDBCProvider service with a DatabaseRetrieve node, or with a DatabaseRoute node, the name of your JDBCProvider service must match the value of the Data source name property of the node.
  4. Select the type of configurable service to create.
  5. For some configurable services, you can select an IBM defined template to provide default values you can use or update. If appropriate, select the IBM defined template to use for your configurable service.
  6. Enter values for the configurable service properties. The properties are populated with default values.
  7. Click OK to create the new configurable service.

For most types of configurable service, your changes will take effect from the next time a message flow that uses the configurable service is called. For some types of configurable service, for which it is explicitly stated in the documentation, you must stop and start the integration server for the change to take effect. For more information, see Configurable services properties.
