# Collect Required Information for Adapters

For current information about which adapters are supported, see the ibi™ WebFOCUS® Adapter Administration guide.

You must provide information to configure the adapters that you want to install. The installation procedure automatically prompts you for this information. When you are prompted for an optional steplib, ddname, or an environment variable, the installation procedure indicates this with an `OPT>` prompt.

After you have installed and configured the server, you are able to further configure your adapters by using a web-based server configuration tool called the WebFOCUS Reporting Server browser interface.

The following table describes what information you need to provide for each adapter that you have. (If an adapter is not listed, no information needs to be provided for it.)

Note that the table refers to:

- IRUNJCL. This procedure contains the JCL procedure for the server, and is a member of the configuration library

      high_level_qualifier.PDS.WFS.DATA

  where:

  high_level_qualifier
  Is the high-level qualifier to be used for all output libraries. You specify the high-level qualifier during server installation, as described in Run isetup, in Step 6.

Adapter | Information you must provide
--- | ---
Adabas | Provide the data set name for the following STEPLIB allocation: load library This is required only for the synonym creation process. For example, in a production environment in which all synonyms already exist, you can omit this. When you configure the adapter, provide the name of the Adabas source library and the associated data set name.
CA-DATACOM | Provide the data set names for the following STEPLIB allocations: CUSLIB load library CAILIB load library utility library URT library

These paths are appended to `CLASSPATH`. If you are deploying the adapter to access an EJB on a: WebLogic server, specify the following path:
      /pathspec/weblogic.jar
- WebSphere server, specify the following paths:
      /pathspec/websphere.jar
`/pathspec/ejbcontainer.jar` (one for each EJB container) This adapter requires configuration of the JSCOM3 listener. Provide three required paths: The path to JVM using either JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME, as described in Installation Requirements for PDS. The paths to `edahome_dir` and `edaconf_dir`, as described in ZFS Home and Configuration Directory Requirements.
JDBC | You must have the JDK installed. Provide a value for the following environment variables: `CLASSPATH`. Provide the paths of the .jar files that you want to access. These paths are appended to `CLASSPATH`. This adapter requires configuration of the JSCOM3 listener. Provide three required paths: The path to JVM using either JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME, as described in Installation Requirements for PDS. The paths to `edahome_dir` and `edaconf_dir`, as described in ZFS Home and Configuration Directory Requirements.
Microsoft SQL Server | You must select Call Java adapter in addition to the Microsoft SQL Server adapter. Provide a value for the following environment variables: `CLASSPATH`. Provide the paths to the following files; these paths will be appended to `CLASSPATH`. `msbase.jar` `mssqlserver.jar` `msutil.jar` This adapter requires configuration of the JSCOM3 listener. Provide three required paths: The path to JVM using either `JDK_HOME` or `JAVA_HOME`, as described in Installation Requirements for PDS. The paths to `edahome_dir` and `edaconf_dir`, as described in ZFS Home and Configuration Directory Requirements.
Db2 CAF | Provide the data set names for the following STEPLIB allocations: SDSNLOAD load library For security information, see DB2 Security Exit Configuration for PDS. SDSNEXIT load library (optional)
Db2 CLI | Provide the data set names for the following STEPLIB allocations: SDSNLOAD load library For security information, see DB2 Security Exit Configuration for PDS. SDSNLOD2 load library SDSNEXIT load library (optional; this is needed only for an explicit connection). Provide the data set name (including member name if applicable) for the following DDname: DSNAOINI, which contains the Db2 CLI `.ini` file.
IMS | Provide the data set names for the following STEPLIB allocations: DFSPZP load library (optional; not needed if PZP modules are stored in the DFSRESLB library) DFSRESLB load library
