The wizard is typically used (but not required) for creating business
objects or services as they are named in kbmMW™ terminology. An application
server contains minimum one service, and often many. There are no artificial
limit to the number or types of services registered within one application
server.
Step 1 - Selection of service (business object) type. This selection may result in a special service type specific wizard page following in step 2. The 'Custom Service' service type and others who dont have specific service setup wizard pages skips step 2.
Step 2a (if a file service type was selected) - Assists in setting up the server side parts of a file service. The developer can at any time override these settings in code or at designtime.
Step 2b (if a Java service type was selected) - Assists in setting up the Java run time environment used.
Step 2c (if a query service type was selected) - Assists in setting up all required components for the selected database type (all installed database adapters are listed automatically. Totally 25+ database adapters exists and can optionally be installed).
Step 3 - Entering the identification of the service. The preferred name may easily be overridden during actual service registration, but is used as the default name for that specific service creation if nothing else is given. Its possible to have multiple versions of the same servicename, hence the optional service version field.
Step 4 -.Entering descriptive information about the service functionality. The purpose of this is to ensure a common way of documenting services and their functionality. Clients can optionally query the application server for information about services.
Step 5 - Entering syntax information about the service functions. This should optionally describe the syntax of the functions and arguments within the service.
Step 6 - Entering author and contact information related to the service.
Step 7 - Setting up service flags. The flags control how the service interacts with the applicationserver.
Step 8 - Setting up service functions. Most services except the 'Custom service' already contain and support a number of service functions, but even in these cases its possible and allowed to add extra as needed.
Step 9 - Code output selection.
Step 10 - Service registration instructions.
