If your adapters use ancillary files, create a subfolder for them under recorders, ScriptGenerators, or filters.


Header Files

Adapters are implemented as dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). The header files required by adapters are located in the Robot installation directory under Rational Test\rtsdk\c\rsrext\include. To find out which headers are required for different adapters, see the stub adapters.


Build Files

Files needed to build adapters are located in Rational Test\rtsdk\c\rsrext\lib.
