Adapter Configuration Reference

The Adapter Configuration editor is a form-based editor split into several tabs. Each tab contains one type of resource and has one or more configuration sections that are presented in panels. You can use these tabs to configure an adapter configuration.

The Project Explorer view shows a virtual outline of an adapter configuration. The outline depicts the virtual containment hierarchy of the adapter configuration. Each node in the hierarchy is an Eclipse resource that is backed by a physical file. In most cases, a resource node in the outline maps to a tab in the Adapter Configuration editor.

You can first set the preferred configuration settings by using the Preferences window. Then configure each resource by using the tabs in the editor. For details about preferences configuration, see Configuring Adapter Preferences. The Adapter Configuration editor includes the following tabs:

Many of the configuration options support module properties. For details on how to define and use module properties, see Configuring Module Properties.

  • Configuration Tab
    You can use the Configuration tab to specify the general information and crucial options for an adapter configuration. The information is grouped in panels, including Adapter for Database Configuration, Database Configuration, and Getting Started.
  • Adapter Services Tab
    You can use the Adapter Services tab to add or remove an adapter service. You can also configure an adapter service by using the tabs in the Adapter Services panel.
  • Transports Tab
    The adapter user interface automatically creates a corresponding session and an endpoint to encapsulate transport information necessary for data communication.
  • Logging Tab
    The adapter uses log sinks to generate logs. The adapter defines traces with different roles and sends them to log sinks with corresponding roles.
  • Monitoring Tab
    TIBCO Hawk monitors the runtime adapter. You can use the Monitoring tab to configure the monitoring options.
  • Advisories Tab
    The adapter contains TIBCO Rendezvous advisory messages and TIBCO Adapter SDK advisory messages. You can configure the two types of advisory messages in the Advisories tab.
  • Advanced Tab
    You can use the Advanced tab to configure advanced options for an adapter configuration, such as termination subject or topic, debug level, alerter name, and so on.
