When you add or open an instance of the ADBC Adapter, the adapter editor provides a Visual Event Mapper. The Event Mapper is available by selecting the Event Mapping tab. With the Event Mapper you specify an Apama event type and a table in an existing JDBC database. When you save the adapter configuration file, Software AG Designer creates the rules that provide the mapping between the fields in the event and the columns in the database. The mapping rules are stored in the adapter instance's configuration file.

The Generate Store Monitors option in the Visual Event Mapper specifies whether or not Software AG Designer generates all the necessary EPL code for monitors that listen for events of the specified types as well as for the EPL code that interacts with the database -- opening the database, checking the adapter status, storing event data, etc. This is the default setting. If you turn this option off, you need to write the EPL code for event listeners and for interacting with the database.

The Auto Start Events option in the Event Mapper specifies whether or not Software AG Designer generates events that cause Software AG Designer to automatically start saving event data when the application is launched. If you turn this option off, your application needs to manually send a StartStoreConfiguration event in order to start saving data.
