AF Sample Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi All -

I am just getting started with the adapter framework in XI 3.0. I understand from the help that SAP is shipping in a sample adapter and a sample module.

Can someone help me to find steps that can be used to use this sample adapter in XI.

I just have sample_ra.jar and am not able to figure out whats next. The help does tell me that I can make the modification's at a certain places to include my own processing requirements.

However, I just want to deploy this sample adapter and try and use it.

Regards,

Ashish

The sample adapter is only a collection of documentation and source fragments. It is not possible to configure and run the adapter.

Extract the sample_ra.jar and you receive Javadoc for the required APIs and some sample classes.

Search for sample_ra.sda on /usr/sap.. folder and deploy it. Once you deploy it, import the ra.xml in the design repostitory as adapter metadata. Then you will see a JCA adapter type. You can then use it in the comm. channels.

I played around with the code and was able to add code to connect to MSMQ to build a custom adapter, and deploy it. works ok.

Hi Sivakumar,

I guess you have successfully implemented a custom adapter. Can you please send me the Javadoc file which explains how to do custom development for adapters? You can send me email to dineshmysore@yahoo.com

Thanks in Advance,

Thanks and Best Regards,

Dinesh.

Hi Ashish,

I've never had an oportunity to use a self made adapter but in my links library I've found a few links:)

Hi Michal,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I already had a look at these posting's but was not able to make out much.

My problem is to make the sample adapter run.

The sample adapter is by default deployed in the AF. (I presume so). So once that adapter is there, we should be able to use that adapter.

However, that adapter does not appear when we go ahead and try to configure the receiver and sender communication channels.

Please note that I have not configured the adapter meta data or the communications channel data in the Integration Repository. (and do not know if that is to be done for the sample adapter)

All the documentation talks about accessing the adapter using the PCK. However, if an adapter is available I should be able to use the same in the normal configurational scenario's also.

Can you please help.
