Creating an Adapter Application

Before deploying, you have to create an adapter application and configure it with an adapter service to enable the data exchange with the application that you want to connect to.

1. Start TIBCO Business Studio using one of the following ways:
   • Microsoft Windows: click Start > All Programs > TIBCO > TIBCO_HOME > TIBCO Business Studio version_number > Studio for Designers.
   • UNIX: run the TIBCO Business Studio executable file located in the TIBCO_HOME/studio/version_number/eclipse directory.
2. On the toolbar, click to open the New BusinessWorks Application Module wizard.
3. In the Project dialog, enter SAP_Adapter as the project name in the Project name field.
4. Clear the Create empty process check box. Click Finish.
   The created SAP_Adapter project and the SAP_Adapter application are displayed in the Project Explorer view.
5. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the SAP_Adapter project and click New > Other.
6. In the "Select a wizard" dialog, click TIBCO Adapters > Adapters for SAP > Adapter Configuration. Click Next.
7. In the "Create new Adapter for SAP Configuration" dialog, use the default settings and click Finish to create a SAP adapter configuration.
   The created SAP adapter configuration is displayed in the SAP_Adapter project and the Adapter for SAP Configuration editor is displayed in the right panel.
8. In the Project Explorer view, click Module Properties and provide values for the required connection fields.
9. Add Publication Service for the created SAP adapter.
