Extension Adapter User Interface

Once you have deployed an extension adapter package, you can configure the adapter and determine what can be configured for data source instances that use the adapter. When you configure an adapter in Studio and save it, the configuration is automatically checked for validity.

The extension adapter user interface has three main tabs (at the bottom):

•

Configuration—This is the tab on which you configure the adapter and make properties available for data source configuration. See Extension Adapter Configuration Tab.

•

Text—This tab lists the text equivalent of settings made and saved on the Configuration tab. If you edit any text on this tab, any unsaved changes made on the Configuration tab are discarded. The Configuration tab reappears the next time the user interface is opened.

•

Info—This is the standard information tab, with the adapter name, owners, dates, state of the lock, and so on.
