Creating an Adapter Service

TIBCO ActiveMatrix adapters exchange data with source and target applications by using a service architecture. Adapter services are abstractions that describe how adapters work together with other applications.

You can create an adapter service in one of the following ways:
  • To create from the Project Explorer view: right-click the Adapter Services folder of an adapter configuration in the Project Explorer view and from the pop-up menu, click New Service. The Create Service Wizard window opens. For details, see Using Create Service Wizard to Create a Service.
  • To create from the Adapter Services tab: The Adapter Services tab is located in the Adapter Configuration editor. In the All Adapter Services panel, either click Add, or right-click the service list pane and from the pop-up menu, click Add Service. For details, see Using Create Service Wizard to Create a Service.
  • To create from the Schema Browser view: In the Schema Browser view, you can select an added table or stored procedure, drag the table or stored procedure to the All Adapter Services panel. Then the Create Service Wizard window opens. For details on how to fetch tables or stored procedures, see Fetching Tables or Stored Procedures.

Note: The default service type and transport in the Create Service Wizard window are determined by the adapter preferences. To maintain the information stored in the Preferences window, see Configuring Adapter Preferences.
