Adapter Integration Framework

The ESP adapter integration framework provides a mechanism for integrating custom external adapters with the ESP Server and SAP Event Stream Processor Studio.

A custom external adapter is any application that publishes or subscribes to a stream or a set of streams in Event Stream Processor using the publisher and subscriber APIs from any of the Event Stream Processor SDKs.

To start and stop external adapters together with a project for ESP or visually from within Studio, create an instance of the adapter plug-in by creating a specialized cnxml configuration file for the adapter. Within this file, specify command lines that the ESP Server can invoke during various stages of adapter runtime and initialization.
