Notice that there is correlation between the following files:
vtableu.c – you add information about your entry points to this file
makefile – you add information about your new adapter to this file so that it will get built
into the Mercator Command Server.
mercadpt.ini – you add information about your new adapter to this file so that the
Mercator Command Server can get this information at run time.
testapi.mak – similar to makefile; only this one is for the SDK (Platform API).
Of course, you must also have all of your source files and a makefile for your new
adapter; which must be built prior to running the makefile for the Mercator Command
Server.
Removing the Built-In Sample Adapter
You may wish to remove the build-in sample adapter “useradapter”. The following
procedure will effectively accomplish this:
makefile and testapi.mak
Comment out the following 3 lines by placing a # in column 1 of each line:
HAVE_USER_ADAPTERS = -DHAVE_USER_ADAPTERS
USER_ADAPTERSD = libuseradapter.a
USER_ADAPTERS = -l useradaptermercadpt.ini
mercadpt.ini
Remove the entries in this file associated with the sample user adapter; for example, the
line beginning with [USERADAPTER] up to and including the line
Logical_Physical_Fetch = FALSE.
vtableu.c
Either touch this file or delete the file named vtableu.o.
Then at the command line, and while in the directory /installdir/src; type make in order
to rebuild the Mercator Command Server; and type make –f testapi.mak in order to
rebuild the sample testapi and jtestapi programs.
