Design-Time Tasks
At design time, adapter users will configure and initialize the run-time components of the adapter. To do this, they will use the following kinds of Integration Server (IS) packages:
The
adapter package, which contains the adapter run-time components as well as the ADK classes that you, the adapter developer, extend to produce the adapter implementation.
A
namespace node package, in which adapter users will create the adapter's namespace nodes for connections, adapter services, polling notifications, and listener notifications.
A namespace node (or node) is based on its corresponding Java classes. For example, a connection node is based on the Java connection classes created at development time.
Design-time tasks include the following:
Create one or more namespace node packages.
Create and initialize namespace nodes for connections, adapter services, polling notifications, listeners, and listener notifications. Adapter users can place all the nodes of an adapter in one package, or distribute them among multiple packages.
Load the adapter package and namespace node packages into
Integration Server.
To perform these tasks, adapter users require access to Integration Server, Designer, and a web browser.
