Tivoli & ConnectIt -- how to add eif.jar file

[tdina]

This seems like it should be a simple task, but I cannot figure out how to do it and so far noone from Peregrine has been able to tell me either.

How do I add the eif.jar to the ConnectIt CLASSPATH?

I had assumed I could add it to a directory and that would be sufficient. But it turns out the CLASSPATH consists of jar files, not directories, so it seems I have to add eif.jar itself to the CLASSPATH?

Also, I'd be interested in establishing some contacts with people who have set up a TEC->ServiceCenter scenario.

Thanks! Tanya tanya.ruttenberg@ssa.gov

There two ways to add 'eif.jar' to the Connect-It classpath:

1) The simpliest one is to copy the 'eif.jar' to the Connect-It lib directory ([Connect-iT installation directory]/lib) in the classpath editor.
All libraries found in this directory are automatically added to the classpath.

2) If you don't want to copy the library, but notify Connect-It where to find it, go to Java menu in the scenario builder and simply add the library full path (example: C:/MyLibraries/eif.jar).
Items in the classpath must be separated by a ';'.

Remark:
There is a small difference between the two ways to add a library to the Connect-It classpath. All the libraries added manually through the Java menu are taken into account BEFORE the ones found in the 'lib' directory. This can be important to know if you encounteer a conflict between two libraries. But in most of the cases, it doesn't have any importance.

An error slipped into my previous post that may be confusing...
