Chapter 2 Adapter Configuration : Configuring and Exporting the Project Repository

Configuring and Exporting the Project Repository
Configuration and metadata information for an adapter instance are specified in TIBCO Designer.
The TIBCO Designer Palette Reference explains how to use TIBCO Designer for adapter configuration and gives a reference to the configuration objects and attributes. It also explains how to use TIBCO Designer for schema configuration and gives a reference to the schema objects and attributes. In TIBCO Designer, click What is This on any resource for help information.
Configuring an Adapter
Here’s an overview of the steps involved in adapter configuration:
1.
Using the TIBCO Designer adapter resource, specify the data the adapter publishes or subscribes to. You can specify multiple schema if different endpoints handle different data.
2.
Drag a Generic Adapter Configuration into the design panel.
TIBCO Designer automatically creates the appropriate base folders and objects.
3.
In the Adapter Services folder, select the appropriate services (Publication Service, Subscription Service, and so on.) and drag them into the design panel, as shown in Figure 2.

4.
For each service, specify the schema, the transport, and other attributes. When instantiating the service, TIBCO Designer automatically creates corresponding sessions and other objects and places them into the Advanced folder.
5.
See Chapter 11, Custom Adapter Example: zapadapter for an example of a custom adapter configuration.
Exporting Project Repositories
After configuring an adapter in TIBCO Designer, export the adapter to a project repository. See the TIBCO Designer User’s Guide for details.
