4.4 Setting up the development environment 

Previous | Next

Before starting developing an assembly line, you have to configure the Tivoli Directory Integrator Configuration Editor. The detailed instructions about configuring Tivoli Directory Integrator development environment are available in this document: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Setting_up_your_development_environment_ic301

Procedure

1. Create a directory on a file system where the Tivoli Directory Integrator Configuration Editor is installed. For example: C:\TDIProject\15082011.
2. Under this root directory, create subdirectories with names workspace and TDISOL. For example:
   C:\TDIProject\15082011\workspace
   C:\TDIProject\15082011\TDISOL
3. Find a zip file with archived Tivoli Directory Integrator Solution directory in <IBM Connections install root>/TDISOL (for example: C:\IBM\LotusConnections\TDISOL\tdisol.zip). Unzip the file into C:\TDIProject\15082011\TDISOL. The content is similar to the following figure.
   
   
   Note: If you are using Tivoli Directory Integrator for Linux, use tdisol.tar instead.
   
   Note: Make sure that you use tdisol.zip from IBM Connections 3.0.1 installation directory. If you upgraded to Version 3.0.1 from Version 3.0, it is better to use the Solutions directory from IBM Connections 3.0.1 Wizards. The directories are:
• For Windows: <Wizards_root>\TDIPopulation\TDISOL\win
• For Linux: <Wizards_root>\TDIPopulation\TDISOL\linux
4. Specify the location of the Profiles Tivoli Directory Integrator Solution directory using the -s command line option in a shortcut for starting the Configuration Editor. On Windows, the default location is Start Menu -> Programs -> IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator v7.0 -> Start Configuration Editor .
   For example, C:\IBM\TDI\V7.0\ibmditk.bat -s C:\TDIProject\15082011\TDISOL\TDI
   
   The following figure shows the screen image from our example.
   
   
5. Start the Tivoli Directory Integrator Configuration Editor using the shortcut you just modified. For example, Start Menu -> Programs -> IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator v7.0 -> Start Configuration Editor
   When you are prompted to specify a workspace for the Configuration Editor, select the directory you created on step 1. In this example, it is C:\TDIProject\15082011\workspace
   
   
   
   
6. Click OK to start the Tivoli Directory Integrator Configuration Editor.
