About Adapter Notifications
An adapter notification contains information about an event that occurs on an adapter resource and then sends the notification data to Integration Server in the form of a published document. There are two types of adapter notifications:
*Polling notifications poll the resource for events that occur on the resource.
When you create a polling notification in Designer, you specify the notification template and the adapter connection to use to connect to the adapter resource.
*Listener notifications work with listeners to detect and process events that occur on the adapter resource.
When you create a listener notification in Designer, you specify the notification template Andes listener to use to connect to the adapter resource.
When creating an adapter notification, Designer also creates a publishable document type that describes the data generated by the adapter notification. At run time, the notification publishes this document and sends it to Integration Server.
To process a document associated with an adapter notification, create a webMethods messaging trigger to subscribe to the document type created for the notification. When Integration Server receives a notification document, the subscribing trigger processes the document by invoking the trigger service associated with the document type subscription.
Each adapter comes with its own unique set of templates for use in creating adapter notifications. For information about creating adapter notifications, see the documentation provided with the adapter.
