Step 7. Export or Publish the Adapter

Step 7. Export or Publish the Adapter

Use the
Informatica Connector Toolkit
 to export or publish the adapter. You can export the adapter files to a location or publish the adapter on local Informatica services and client directory.
  1. In the
    Connector Navigator
     view, right-click the project and select
    Publish
    .
    The
    Export/Publish Informatica Connector
     dialog box appears.
  2. Click
    Browse
     and specify a location to export the adapter.
    The
    Export Location
     defaults to the adapter project workspace.
  3. To export the connector for Informatica Intelligent Cloudl Services, select
    Informatica Cloud
     and specify the following details:
    • If you use record pattern type to create the connector, specify a plugin version.
    • If you use procedure pattern type to create the connector, select
      Specify Plugin ID
       and specify a plugin ID and a plugin version.
  4. To export the connector for PowerCenter, select
    PowerCenter
     and specify the plugin ID.
  5. If you want to use the
    Informatica Connector Toolkit
     to install the adapter on a local Informatica services and client machine, select
    Publish connector on local Informatica services and client
     and perform the following steps:
    1. Specify the location of the local Informatica server directory.
    2. Specify the location of the client installation directory.
    To reinstall the adapter or install a newer version of the adapter, select
    Upgrade
    .
  6. Click
    Next
     to view the contents of the client and server bundles.
  7. Click
    Finish
    .
If you export the adapter, the
Informatica Connector Toolkit
 bundles the client and service artifacts and generates batch files that you can use to install the adapter. If you encounter any error or fail to export the adapter, refer to the <adapter_name>_codebuilder.log file for more information. The <adapter_name>_codebuilder.log file is available in the
<Eclipse workspace>/<adapter project>
 folder.
If you publish the adapter, the
Informatica Connector Toolkit
 restarts the Informatica domain and registers the adapter with the Informatica services. The Data Integration Service can connect to the data source and you can create connections to the data source in the Developer tool and Administrator tool. If you fail to publish the adapter, install the adapter manually.
If the Informatica domain is not available after you publish the adapter, ensure that no Informatica services are running in the domain and then publish the adapter.
By default, you can use the
Informatica Connector Toolkit
 to build connector for Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. If you want to publish a connector developed using Informatica Connector Toolkit versions earlier than 10.2 HotFix 1, set
YES
 as the value of the
CTK_ADAPTER
 system environment variable. For example,
CTK_ADAPTER =YES
.
The default value of the
CTK_ADAPTER
 system environment variable is set to
NO
.
