Road map for configuring the module
Before you can use WebSphere Adapter for Lotus Domino in a run time environment, configure the module. Understanding this task at a high level helps you perform the steps that are needed to accomplish the task.
You configure the module for the adapter to use by using IBM Integration Designer. The following figure illustrates the flow of the configuration task, and the steps that follow the figure describe this task at a high level only. See the topics following this road map for the details on how to perform each of the steps described here.

Configure the module for deployment
This task consists of the following step:
- Configure the Lotus Domino server to work with your adapter. You perform this step from within the Lotus Domino server.
- Create an authentication alias to access the Lotus Domino server with an encrypted password. This step is optional, depending on your policy for handling passwords and IDs. You perform this step using the server.
- Create the project. First, start the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to begin the process of creating and deploying a module. The wizard creates a project used to organize the files associated with the module.
- Set connection properties that the external service wizard needs to connect to the Lotus Domino server for discovery of objects and services.
- Configure the module for inbound or outbound processing by using the external service wizard to find and select business objects and services from the Lotus Domino server, and to generate business object definitions and related artifacts.
- Select business objects and services for inbound or outbound processing from the business integration components discovered by the external service wizard.
The required services on the domino server such as IIOP and HTTP must be running for both outbound and inbound processing. Also, ensure that the required files for inbound processing are copied in the correct directories.
- Configure the selected objects by specifying operations and other properties that apply to all the business objects.
- Set deployment properties that the adapter uses to connect to the Lotus Domino server at run time. Then, generate the service by using the external service wizard to save the new module, which contains the business object or objects you configured, the import or export file, and the service interface.
- Select business objects and services for inbound or outbound processing from the business integration components discovered by the external service wizard.
