The Adapter Monitor enables you to monitor and change the state of an adapter. The state of an adapter refers to the processing that is (or is not) being performed by an adapter.
Note: The existence of an adapter "state" presumes that the adapter has been started. An adapter that has not yet been started, or that was shutdown and not restarted, has no state, and is not affected by any actions in the Adapter Monitor. For information about starting an adapter, see FORM='TEXTONLY'. Generally, the adapter performs two types of processing:
The adapter polls the event store of its application for events and sends the events as business object messages to the integration broker
The adapter receives request business objects sent from the integration broker to the application
Adapter State | Request Processing | Polling |
---|---|---|
Active | yes | yes |
Paused | yes | no |
Inactive | no | no |
To change the state of an adapter, right-click on the icon for the adapter, and choose one of the following:
Changes the adapter from the Pausedor Inactive state to Active
Changes the adapter from the Paused or Active state to Inactive
Changes the adapter from Active state to Paused
Stops the adapter. This action terminates the connector startup script, closing the connection with the application and freeing any allocated resources. The connector remains shut down until restarted. The connector cannot be restarted from Adapter Monitor; see "Starting an Adapter" for instructions on starting and restarting
The following two commands do not directly affect the processing of the connector, but do affect what the Adapter Monitor displays about the connector:
Deletes this adapter configuration from the Adapter Monitor. This does not change the adapter or alter its state; it only makes it unavailable from the Adapter Monitor.
Triggers a GETSTATUS command which gets the current status of the connector agent
