Adapter Development in XI

[Former Member]

HI All

i'm new for Adapter development. i started with testing sample adapter code on XI server. i have understood sample code.

When i extracted that jar file, i got 'sampleRA.xml' file. but i'm not getting this XML file when i extracted new jar file, which i created in NWDS and deployed on XI server. this jar file contains all code same as sample code(sample_ra.jar) provided on XI server.

but i require this XML file to import adapter matadata into XI IR.

pls suggest me if anybody have idea on adapter development and how the XML file would be generated.

points will be rewarded, if helpful..........

HI Rajesh,

The SAMPLE.xml file is adapter metadata file for SAmple adapter.

When u create the SDA file in the NWDS, this file wont be generated for ur adapter and neither it needs to be deployed through SDM.

You have to create or modify exisitng (Sample.xml) file pertaining to your adapter requirements and then upload in the Integration Repository.

Hope this helps...

HI Anurag,

thanks.. this is very helpful answer.

but, when i upload SAMPLE.xml file into IR for my custom adapter. in adapter monitoring my adapter doesn't get activated(it is in grey mode), again JCA adapter is in activation mode. Finally i'm getting file in target folder as text document.

is there any kind of addressing SDA file in XMl file by giving path of SDA file. because when i am uploading sample.XML file into IR my custom adapter is not get activated, instead JCA adapter gets activated.

if it require any changes in XML file, pls tell me where i need to change in XML File......

Warm Regards

Hi Rajesh,

U need to make changes in the ra.xml file present in .rar archive that u would have created.

If u not made it then i suggest u modify the ra.xml file from Sample adapter file and include it in ur sda.
