Chapter 10 – Using Utility Adapters

Utility adapters are a collection of middleware programs used with the Design Studio to retrieve and

route data. Each adapter includes commands you can use to customize its operation.

System Requirements

It is assumed that a Command Server has already been installed on the computer where the utility

adapters are to be installed for run-time purposes. Any additional requirements to install and run the

messaging adapters vary with each adapter. Those differences are discussed in each adapter-specific

chapter.

Using Utility Adapter Commands

Specify utility adapter commands to customize adapter operation for the data source of an input map

card and the data target for an output map card. Utility adapter commands can be used:

♦ As a resource in the Map Designer

♦ From the Execution Settings defined in the Integration Flow Designer

♦ On a command line for a Command Server or API

♦ In a map rule or component rule when using the functions RUN, GET, or PUT

Each chapter in this document provides more information about adapter commands.
