This adapter can be used with the Command Server, Event Server, Platform API, 
or in a map rule. 
For example, using the Map Designer, select Sink for the Target setting in an 
output card dialog box. 
Note  The Sink adapter does not require any additional card settings or adapter 
commands. 
You can use the Output Target Override execution command (-OA) with the Sink 
adapter alias. For example, to override the output card with the Sink adapter so 
that the data is discarded, the command string would be: 
-OASINK1 . 
Application Adapter 
The application adapter and the APP alias is provided only for backwards 
compatibility for pre-6.0 application adapters.
