The wizard-based initial setup for the Adapter Engine performs the following post-installation steps:

• Checking PI services

• Configuring the SLD data supplier

• Maintaining the exchange profile

• Triggering self-registration of the non-central Adapter Engine

If you do not want to use this initial setup to perform the basic configuration steps required for the Adapter Engine, you have to carry out these steps manually as outlined in the step descriptions accessed by the hyperlinks above.

In addition, you have to manually configure the gateway service of the Integration Server as follows:

1. On the Adapter Engine host, open the file services by using a text editor.

   You can find the file on:

   • Windows at <drive>\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\

   • UNIX at /etc/

2. Enter the gateway service of the Integration Server in the file services as follows:

   sapgw<xx> <port>/tcp #SAP System Gateway Port

   where <xx> is the instance number and <port> is the gateway port of the SAP Application Server on which the Integration Server is running.

   You can copy and paste the correct entry from the services file on the Integration Server host.
