Adapter Service Reference

After you create an adapter service, the adapter service configuration resources are displayed in the right panel of the Adapter Services tab. These resources are divided into different tabs for you to customize your adapter service.

The displayed tabs vary according to the types of services.

• Configuration Tab
  After creating an adapter service, you can use the adapter service Configuration tab to specify general information. The Configuration tabs for Publication Service, Subscription Service, and Request-Response Service are the same.
• Schema Tab
  In Publication Service, you can use the Schema tab to select tables, add child tables, refresh table information, and load tables.
• Publication Options Tab
  In Publication Service, you can use the Publication Options tab to select a polling method, select a storage mode, specify a publishing table, and so on.
• DB2/390 Options Tab
  The DB2/390 Options tab is displayed if you select DB2 OS390 from the Vendor list in the Configuration tab of an adapter configuration.
• DB2/AS400 Options Tab
  The DB2/AS400 Options tab is displayed if you select DB2 AS400 from the Vendor list in the Configuration tab of an adapter configuration.
• Schema Tab
  In Subscription Service, you can use the Schema tab to select tables, add child tables, and refresh table information. You must set subscriber table options before configuring other subscriber options.
• Subscription Options Tab
  In Subscription Service, you can use the Subscription Options tab to specify an exceptions table and an opaque exceptions table and perform other configurations. The adapter uses the exceptions table to store error messages from database operation failures.
• Child Table Mappings Tab
  In Subscription Service, you can use the Child Table Mappings tab to map a child table of Publication Service with a child table of Subscription Service if the tables do not have the same name.
• Child Exception Table Mappings Tab

  The DB2/390 Options tab is displayed if you select DB2 OS390 from the Vendor list in the Configuration tab of an adapter configuration.
• Schema Tab
  In Request-Response Service, you can use the Schema tab to view stored procedures, functions, packages, or other information. The information displayed in this tab varies depending on different types of Request-Response Service.
• Request-Response Options Tab
  In Request-Response Service, you can use the Request-Response Options tab to set different modes of RPC Service.
