Interfaces for Administration 

Use

There are various administrative interfaces for an Adapter-Framework-compliant adapter.

Functions

●     Starting and stopping adapter instances

The SAP J2EE server informs the adapter when it is started or stopped. You must implement the Java interface described in Managing the Lifecycle of a JCA Adapter in the adapter for this purpose. The adapter must also implement the CCI interaction function names XIInteractionSpec.START and XIInteractionSpec.STOP to enable the Adapter Framework to start and stop the adapter.

Open XIAdapterCategories.java and search for the character strings CS_ASS1 and CS_ASS2.

●     The communication channel monitor allows system administrators to monitor the status of the communication channels. They also receive runtime information about the adapters in the communication channels.

You can start and stop communication channels in the monitor.

It is possible to trigger the alert framework for certain status messages.

●     The Adapter Framework allows you to use the adapter monitor. This enables you to monitor the status of any components of an adapter and its channels.

The adapter monitor is no longer being developed. Adapters should be converted to the communication channel monitor.
