Dear Paul,

Yes, it is necessary to create adapter metadata to use the adapter that u have developed.U need to put into it all the configuration parameters that defines ur built in custom adapter

The adapter metadata schema consists of a main part (Main Part of the Adapter Metadata) and schemas for the following groups and attributes:

○ AttributeReference

○ AttributeGroup

○ TransportProtocol and MessageProtocol

○ ChannelAttribute, SecurityAttribute,

○ ModuleProcessorAttributes

○ Attributes

○ Attribute Tables

○ LabelListType

○ ValueType

○ RecursiveCondition

Adapter Metadata is nothing but a XML file.Once ur metadata is ready,u need to upload the same in ur server...just follow the following path...:

http://localhost:50000/CPACache/schemaupload.jsp

There u can browse thru and upload ur metadata file,filling in all the necessary information like adapter name,its version etc

Hope this is of some use

Hi,

You can define the configuration information that is required for your adapter type in the adapter metadata. You use adapter metadata to define the part of a communication channel that is specific to the adapter type.

In the adapter metadata schema, a differentiation is made between the sender/inbound direction and the receiver/outbound direction
