The first step in adapter development is requirements gathering and clarification. Here are some points an adapter developer should consider:
• What are the available methods for interfacing with the application? For example, direct API access, protocol access (JDBC), and so on.
• Does the application use basic ASCII characters or special characters? This choice especially affects the runtime application setup.
• What are the metadata that describe the data the adapter uses? These data are specified through the resources in the TIBCO Designer AESchemas folder.
• What are the services the adapter provides? (publication, subscription, remote invocation, and so on).
• Each service encapsulates an endpoint and the corresponding session (transport), that is, TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise for JMS. What is the message format appropriate for the application? What is the quality of service for that message format?
• What is the protocol for internal communication, TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service?
• What is the message format for communicating with the Administration Server, HTTP or TIBCO Rendezvous?
