Introduction
W el co m e!
The goal of this tutorial is to teach you how to install, configure, and manage the
webMethods BroadVision Adapter to solve a business problem of a fictional
sporting goods distributor named Sporting Goods Distributors (SGD). In this
tutorial, you will assume the role of the SGD developer who solves this problem.
Currently, SGD uses a BroadVision Server to maintain its inventory and handle its
purchasing processes (for example, generating purchase orders). SGD now needs to
expand the breadth of its system by implementing an integration solution with its
suppliers. That is, it needs to exchange business information over the Internet.
To prepare for implementing this solution, SGD has already installed the
webMethods Integration Server. You will now add the BroadVision Adapter to the
server so that data can flow to and from SGD’s existing system.

An Integration Server-BroadVision application system consists of a BroadVision server
and a webMethods Integration Server with the BroadVision Adapter.
The Global Sporting Goods Case Study

Sporting Goods Distributors (SGD) is a sporting goods distributor that buys goods from
wholesale suppliers and sells them to retailers. In order to do this, SGD must maintain
inventory and pricing information.
The Problem
Currently, SGD uses a BroadVision server to maintain inventory and pricing information.
This BroadVision server enables SGD employees to both add and update information.
SGD now needs to implement an integration solution with one of its suppliers—a
snowboard manufacturer named Snowboard Suppliers—while still leveraging its
BroadVision server architecture. That is, it needs to enable SGD and Snowboard
Suppliers to send and receive business information through SGD’s BroadVision server
and over the Internet.

Introduction
The Solution
This tutorial provides a JavaScript page from which you (the SGD user) can execute a
predefined Flow service (getCatalog) to request information about catalog items from
Snowboard Suppliers. Since this service executes in your webMethods Integration Server
to request information from Snowboard Supplier’s webMethods Integration Server, the
request is handled by the outbound (BroadVision-to-Integration Server) adapter.
After Snowboard Suppliers returns the requested catalog item to your JavaScript page,
your application must query your back-end system to find out whether the catalog item
already exists in your system. To accomplish this, the application includes the
BroadVision runtime service BVI_ContentManager.
If Snowboard Suppliers returns a catalog item that does not exist in your back-end
system, you must be able to add it to the system. To do this, you create a Flow service
named insertProduct, which is handled by the inbound (Integration Server-to-
BroadVision) adapter. This service must include the following entities that we provide:
g The CORBA interface method insert_content
To implement this method, you use the inbound (Integration Server-to-BroadVision)

adapter’s user interface to generate the method to produce a Flow service. This
generated service represents the method.
g The Java service insert_content_attributes
In addition, you must generate another Flow service for deleting products you added with
insertProduct. The tutorial provides a CORBA interface method—
delete_content_by_key—that you generate the same way you generate insert_content.

Lesson 1 Exercise .....................................................................10

Lesson 1 Managing Alias Settings
Objectives
In this lesson, you will create and test a BroadVision server alias.
Background
To enable webMethods to open a session with your BroadVision server, you must
provide webMethods with alias setting information—that is, a collection of configuration
parameters about your BroadVision server. We provide you with the parameters for an
alias.
For more information about managing the BroadVision server alias, see the webMethods
BroadVision Adapter User Guide, Chapter3, “Implementing the Inbound Adapter”.
L esso n 1 Exerci se
Defining a BroadVision Server Alias
Caution: You must have administrator privileges on the webMethods Integration Server to perform the
following procedure.
To define an alias
1. Start the webMethods Integration Server and the webMethods

Integration Server Administrator. See the webMethods Integration Server
Administrator’s Guide for the procedures to do this.
2. In the Adapters menu in the navigation area, select BroadVision55.
The BroadVision55 child window is displayed.
3. In the BroadVision55 menu in the navigation area, select Alias Settings.
The Alias Settings window is displayed.
4. Click the Add Alias Settings button.
The Add Alias Settings window is displayed.
Complete the following fields. You may need to ask your BroadVision
server administrator for the values for these fields.

Lesson 1 Exercise
Note: All entries are case sensitive!
In this field… Specify…
Alias Name A unique name for this alias. (This is the name by which Services will
reference this alias.)
For this exercise, type:
Tutorial
Description Text that describes the alias. Optional.

IT_NAMES_SERVER The machine on which you want to connect to the NamingService
_HOST when you call resolve_initial_references.
Type:
hostName.companyName.com
For example:
odin.east.webmethods.com
IT_NS_PORT The port number at which the Names Server can be contacted.
1221
IT_NAMES_SERVER The name with which the Names Server is registered in the
Implementation repository. This name is usually NS.
bv1to1/bvconf_srv_a
IT_LOCAL_DOMAIN The local DNS domain name. Optional.
For example:
east.webmethods.com
IT_DAEMON_PORT The port number for the Orbix daemon.
1221
5. Click Save.
The webMethods Integration Server Administrator saves the values to

Lesson 1 Managing Alias Settings
the Repository under the specified alias name. The Alias Settings
window is re-displayed, showing the alias name you created. Using this
window, you can edit, test, or delete the alias. If you receive an error
message when you click Save, verify that the settings you specified are
correct.
Testing the Alias

You can perform a simple “health-check” to test the alias you just created. When you test
an alias, the webMethods Integration Server tries to open and close a connection with the
BroadVision Server referenced by the alias. It then displays a message that will tell you
about the status of your alias.
To test your new alias
Test the newly created BroadVision Server alias by clicking the Test
Connection icon in the Alias Settings List screen next to the alias.
If the test is successful, you will see the following message: “tutorial alias
setting tested successfully.” If you did not successfully open a session with the
BroadVision Server, verify the connection information and retry.
End of Lesson 1
The next lesson will show you how to create and test the insertProduct service.

LESSON
Creating and Testing the Flow service insertProduct
Objectives..................................................................................14
Background................................................................................14
Lesson 2 Exercise .....................................................................14

Lesson 1 Creating and Testing the Flow service insertProduct
O b j ecti ves
In this lesson, you will create the Flow service insertProduct, which will enable you to
update your inventory list with Snowboard Supplier product information. Then, you will
test the service, using the webMethods Developer.
Background
After you execute the predefined Flow service getCatalog, Snowboard Suppliers returns
the requested catalog item to your JavaScript page. Then, the BroadVision runtime
service BVI_ContentManager queries your back-end system to find out whether the
catalog item already exists in your system.
If Snowboard Suppliers returns a catalog item that does not exist in your back-end
system, you must be able to add it to the system. To do this, you create a Flow service
named insertProduct, which is handled by the inbound (Integration Server-to-
BroadVision) adapter. This service must include the following entities that we provide:
g The CORBA interface method insert_content
To implement this method, you use the inbound (Integration Server-to-BroadVision)

adapter’s user interface to generate the method to produce a Flow service. This
generated service represents the method.
g The Java service insert_content_attributes
Before you create insertProduct, you must enable your BroadVision Interface Repository
(IFR) and then add to the IFR the IDL file associated with a CORBA server that we
provide.
Adding the Example IDL File to the Interface Repository
This tutorial provides the CORBA server CntMgmt/CntDB/cntdb1 and its associated .idl
file cntdb. In this part of the exercise, you must first enable your BroadVision Interface
Repository (IFR). Then, to make this CORBA server available to the inbound adapter,
you must add the server’s IDL file to your IFR.
To enable the IFR and to add the example IDL file
1. Enable your BroadVision Interface Repository (IFR) by running the

following commands on the BroadVision Server:

Lesson 2 Exercise
putit IFR /opt/bv1to1/orbix/bin/ifr

chmodit IFR i+all
2. Run the following Orbix command to give the client “invoke and launch”
permissions to the IFR:
chmodit IFR l+all
3. To add IDL file cntdb.idl, run the following Orbix command:
putidl –I /opt/bv1to1/include/idl/
/opt/bv1to1/include/idl/bv/cntdb.idl
Generating the CORBA Method insert_content for the Flow

service insertProduct
In this part of the exercise, you will use the adapter’s user interface to generate the
CORBA interface method insert_content, which you will include in the Flow service
insertProduct. Generating insert_content produces a Flow service that represents it.
To generate the insert_content method
1. In the BroadVision55 menu in the navigation area, select CORBA

Servers.
The Select Alias window is displayed.

2. Select your alias name from the Select an alias field’s drop-down list and
click the Continue button.
