SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor provides an adapter toolkit you can use to build
custom adapters. You can install the adapter toolkit to other machines where you can develop
and test your custom adapters.
Prerequisites
Install SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor with any of the following components:
- ESP Server
- Web Services adapter
- RFC adapter
Task
The adapter toolkit runs on all standard platforms for Event Stream Processor,
and requires JRE 1.6 or higher. The toolkit is installed automatically with the
ESP Server, the Web Services adapter, and the RFC
adapter and is therefore available to copy to other machines only when you have
installed at least one of these components.
- Copy the contents of $ESP_HOME/adapters/framework from the
ESP machine to the external machine.
- (Optional) Copy the API documentation in $ESP_HOME/doc/adaptertoolkit from the
ESP machine to the external machine.
When you have finished copying the toolkit to the external machine, it is ready to
use. You can build, test, and run custom adapters from the external machine. Adapters
running on a machine external to ESP can only run in
unmanaged mode, meaning they start and stop independently of the ESP Server and ESP
projects. For information on managed and unmanaged adapters, and on building custom
adapters in general, see the Building Custom Adapters Guide.
