Chapter 1 - Resource Adapters

This chapter introduces the Mercator Resource Adapters. You can use the adapters

with a Command Server

, Event Server, Platform API, or map in a map rule.

Overview

Resource adapters are used to retrieve and route data. They provide access to

databases, files, messaging systems, enterprise applications and other data

sources and targets.

Each adapter includes a set of adapter commands that can be used to customize

its operation. Use the adapter commands to specify different queues and queue

managers, specific messages by message ID, specific sets of messages with the

same message ID, message descriptors in your data, and more.

Resource adapters answer the questions "Where should the data come from?" and

"Where should the data go?"

The resource adapters provided with the Integration Broker products enable data

transformation and adapter-specific behavior recognition on different systems and

data structures.
