For information on working with components that you have developed and deployed to an InterChange Server Express instance, see "Working with components in an InterChange Server Express repository" on page 83. Naming component guidelines When you create components, keep in mind the following general guidelines and requirements v In general, limit component names to combinations of alphanumeric characters and underscores because most punctuation and special characters are not used in an ICS system. Do not use spaces in component names. v Begin all component names with a letter (not a digit or an underscore). See specific sections for exceptions. v In property names, do not use apostrophes (') or double quotation marks (″). v Many component names have a maximum length limit: - Map names: Maximum 76 characters - Collaboration templates: Maximum 80 characters - Collaboration object: Maximum 80 characters v The following components must be composed only of characters in the code set associated with the U.S. English locale, en_US: connectors and connector configuration properties, collaboration templates, collaboration objects, collaboration properties, collaboration ports, maps, business object definitions, attributes, attribute types, and verbs. In the interest of backward compatibility, IBM enforces only a few naming requirements. However, because naming is subject to restrictions from underlying system components, follow the conventions in this guide. For example, Java imposes restrictions on Java class names, and your operating system and database likely have restrictions on the length of and characters used in file names. Launching designer tools This section describes the different ways you can launch each of the designer tools. You can use the designer tools to create new components or to open and modify existing components. Note: If you attempt to launch one of the designer tools and experience an error about a class not being found, you must launch System Manager and then try to launch the designer tool again. System Manager does not have to remain running after the tool is initially launched, however. Business Object Designer Express To launch Business Object Designer Express, do one of the following: v Right-click the Business Objects folder in the WebSphere Business Integration System view and choose Create New Business Object from the context menu v Select any folder in the WebSphere Business Integration System Manager view and do one of the following: - Select Tools > Business Object Designer Express from the menu bar - Click the Business Object Designer Express toolbar button - Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+4 v Select Start > Programs > WebSphere Business Integration Express > Toolset Express> Development > Business Object Designer Express 54 IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus: System Implementation Guide
