Custom XI adapter

[Former Member]

Hello guys

I am trying to play with the XI demo adapter.

I have imported the sample adapter (which is shipped with XI) in my NWDS and imported all the relevant libraries. Now the adapter compiles well.

I am wondering if anybody know what I need to do in order for me to test if the adapter works:

- How do i import this new adapter in XI?

- Do i need to package it in a certain way?

- Is it obligatory to have a PCK?

The documentation on SDN are not very clear on the matter.

Kind regards

John

you have to deploy the adapter to the XI/PCK with SDM.

For this your create an RAR (ressource adapter archive) with WinZip and store this in an SDA file again with WinZip.

The adapter meta data are uploaded to Integration Repositiory, so you can create communication channels for your adapter.

No, but with a seperate testing system you minimize the risk to disrupt the XI system with bad code

We will work on that soon
