Starting an Adapter Configuration

After you have completed all configuration work, you can start the adapter configuration to exchange data with the SAP system as designed.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have added adapter services for the adapter configuration. See Adding an Adapter Service for details.
Note: If the adapter configuration uses the JMS transport type, you have to start the Enterprise Message Service (EMS) server first. For how to start the EMS server, see the TIBCO Enterprise Message Server documentation.

Procedure

  1. From the menu, click Run > Run Configurations to open the Run Configurations window.
  2. Double-click Adapter Launcher to create an adapter launcher for the adapter configuration.
  3. In the Adapter Configuration tab, click Browse next to the Adapter Configuration field to select the adapter configuration that you want to start.
    After you select an adapter configuration that you want to start, the adapter launcher name displayed in the Name field is changed to Project_Name-AdapterConfiguration_Name.
  4. Optional: Click Browse to select a directory to store the runtime information and support files.
    The default directory is Work_Space/.metadata/.plugins/com.tibco.adr3.ui.
    Note: You can change the default directory by clicking Windows > Preferences from the menu, expanding TIBCO Adapter > Adapter for SAP in the Preferences window, and then specify the Working Directory field in the General tab.
  5. Optional: Click Apply to store the configuration information in this adapter launcher.
  6. Click Run to start the adapter configuration.

Result

An adapter configuration is started. You can check the related information in the Console view.
