Package Dependency Requirements and Guidelines
You must follow certain package dependency guidelines for effectively managing the adapter packages.
*A user-defined package must have a dependency on its associated adapter package, WmHDFSAdapter.
*Package dependencies ensure that Integration Server automatically loads or reloads all packages at startup in the proper order: the adapter package first, and the user-defined packages next.
*If the connections and services of an adapter are defined in different packages, then:
*A package that contains the connections must have a dependency on the WmHDFSAdapter package.
*Packages that contain adapter services must have a dependency on their associated connection package.
*Integration Server does not allow you to enable a package if it has a dependency on another package that is disabled. That is, before you can enable your package, you must enable all packages on which your package depends. For information about enabling packages, see Enabling Packages.
*Integration Server does not allow you to disable a package if its dependent packages are enabled. Therefore, you must manually disable any user-defined packages that have a dependency on the adapter package before you disable the adapter package. For information about disabling packages, see Disabling Packages.
*You can provide the same name to connections, adapter services, and notifications only if they are in different folders and packages.
