Apama is distributed with several standard adapters. This chapter provides a description of the following Apama adapters that are included when you install the Apama software:

Each Apama standard adapter includes the transport and codec plug-ins it requires, along with any required EPL service monitor files. The C++ plug-ins are located in the Apama installation’s adapters\bin directory (Windows) or adapters/lib directory (UNIX); the Java plug-ins are located in adapters\lib. The EPL files are located in the adapters\monitors directory.

If you develop an application in Apama Studio, when you add a standard adapter to the project, Apama Studio automatically creates a configuration file for it. In addition, the standard Apama adapters include bundle files that automatically add the adapter’s plug-ins and associated service monitor files to the Apama Studio project.

If you are not using Apama Studio, you need to create a configuration file that will be used by the IAF to run the adapter. Each adapter includes a template file that can be used as the basis for the configuration file. The template files are located in the installation’s adapters\config directory and have the forms adapter_name.xml.dist and adapter_name.static.xml. These template files are not meant to be used as the adapters’ actual configuration files — you should always make copies of the template files before making any changes to them.
