Adapter for Apache HBase connects to HBase through Java API at run time. You create one or more connections at design time to use in integrations. The number of connections you create and the type of those connections, depend on the types of databases you are connecting to and your integration needs.

Adapter for Apache HBase connections contain parameters that Integration Server uses to manage connections on the Apache HBase. The adapter uses these connections to provide services. You configure connections using Integration Server Administrator. You must have Integration Server Administrator privileges to access Adapter for Apache HBase's administrative screens.

For instructions on configuring Adapter for Apache HBase connections, see Overview of Adapter for Apache HBase Connections. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
