prePropagation of Custom Adapters in an Active Cluster
When you create an adapter in Studio, the adapter definition immediately propagates across the cluster. In particular, the adapter directory ('<TDV_install_dir>/conf/adapters/<custom or system>/<adapter_name>) is created on all nodes. However, any files that are then added to the adapter directory are NOT propagated automatically.
You can propagate an adapter in a cluster by:
• Creating the adapter on a development system
• Populating the adapter directory with all needed files
• Creating a data source using the adapter
• Exporting the data source (as a CAR file)
By importing the CAR file with the data source into a cluster node, the adapter and all the files in the adapter directory are propagated across the cluster.
