Refresh Adapter Service Button

All activities in the ActiveEnterprise Adapter palette can use preconfigured adapter services. These adapter service configurations can change after an adapter service is specified in the configuration of an ActiveEnterprise Adapter palette activity. Therefore, the configured adapter service may become inconsistent with your process definition.

The Refresh Adapter Service button is available on most activities in the ActiveEnterprise Adapter palette. This button allows you to synchronize your activities with the adapter service specified in the activity. Any changes that have occurred to the adapter service are reflected in the activity after the refresh completes.

For example, an adapter service may change the schema it uses for incoming or outgoing messages. When this schema change occurs, any activity using that adapter service may no longer have the correct input and output schemas. Clicking the Refresh Adapter Service button changes the activity to use the current configuration of the adapter service. This invalidate input mappings, and you may need to use the Mapper Check and Repair button on the Input tab to correct the activity input schemas.

Note: The Refresh Adapter Service button is only enabled when you use all settings from the Adapter Service. That is, if you change the Transport Type on the Transport tab to anything other than Adapter Service Default, the Refresh Adapter Service button becomes disabled. If you want to keep your ActiveEnterprise Adapter activities synchronized with an adapter service, do not change the Transport Type. If you want to use a different transport configuration for the activity, you should check the Custom AESchema field on the Configuration tab and specify the adapter service schema in the Custom AESchema Reference field, and then modify the settings on the Transport tab.
